Chlorophyll a/b ratios of chlorophyll-protein complexes in WT and MpCAO1+MpCAO2 plants

Chlorophyll-protein complexes were separated by native green gel electrophoresis and were extracted from the gel. CP1 is a heterodimer of PsaA/PsaB. Their chlorophyll a/b ratios were determined by HPLC analysis. Chl, chlorophyll.

Chl-protein complexes	Wild type	MpCAO1+MpCAO2
CP1-LHCI complexes (CP1*)	8.75	3.25
CP1	21.35	3.43
Trimeric LHCII (LHCII3)	1.49	0.90
Core complexes of PSII (Cpa)	13.09	3.50
Monomeric LHCII (LHCII1)	1.57	0.86
Free Chls	1.82	0.79
