Accumulation of fumarate and Suc in different environmental conditions. Fumarate (A) and Suc (B) levels were determined by enzyme-linked assays following exposure for one photoperiod to different environmental conditions. Plants of Col-0 and fum2.2 were grown under 100 µmol m2 s−1 light, 8 h light/16 h dark, 500 µL L−1 CO2, and 20°C light/18°C dark conditions for 8 weeks. Plants were then transferred to control (identical) conditions, low temperature (4°C), high carbon dioxide (1500 µL L−1), or high light (400 µmol m2 s−1 light) for one photoperiod. Measurements were taken at the end of the photoperiod (8 h) from liquid N2 flash-frozen, fully expanded leaves, as in Figure 2.
