| Genotype | Chl/cell (pg) | Chl a/b | Chl/Car | F v /F m | PSII antenna size (T 2/3 −1 · 10 3 , ms- 1 ) | PSI antenna size (T 1/2 , ms) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| WT | 0.49 ± 0.07a | 2.62 ± 0.02a | 3.43 ± 0.02a | 0.69 ± 0.02a | 18.2 ± 1.4a | 134.3 ± 26.8a |
| TAM-2 | 0.30 ± 0.02b | 3.36 ± 0.03b | 3.07 ± 0.05b | 0.70 ± 0.01a | 10.5 ± 0.5b | 115.4 ± 23.5a |

Data are expressed as mean ± SD. Significantly different values (ANOVA, P <0.05) with respect to the wild-type (WT), within the same column, are marked with different letters.
