Figure 7. Effects of the AtDPG1 mutation on the expression of chloroplast-encoded genes.

Figure 7

(a) The expression levels of chloroplast-encoded PEP-dependent genes (PSAA, PSAB, PSBA, PSBB, and RBCL). (b) The expression levels of genes encoding PEP core subunits (rpoA, rpoB, rpoC1, and rpoC2). The terms dpg1-I and dpg1-II refer to the leaves that were albino or pale-green in 21-day-old and 35-day-old dpg1 mutants, respectively. The transcript level of each gene was set to 1.0 in the leaves from a 21-day-old wild type plant. The bar graphs show the relative expression levels, as determined by the comparative CT method and normalized to the expression of the ACTIN2 gene. Error bars indicate the interval delimited by 2−(ΔΔCT ± SD). The asterisks indicate ΔCT values significantly different from those of the control in a Mann–Whitney U-test (P < 0.05).
