Figure 9. DLA2 is an active subunit of the chloroplast pyruvate dehydrogenase.

cpPDC activity tests in the same iDLA2 lines grown under photoautotrophic conditions were performed as described in Materials and Methods. The cpPDC activity measured in the wild-type transformed with the empty vector (WT-NE) is designated as 100%. Mean values and standard deviations from three independent experiments are shown. For comparison, DLA2 protein accumulation in iDLA2 lines is shown aside (see also Figure 7A).
