Fig 2. mex1 and mex1/pglct leaves accumulate higher levels of maltose than WT leaves when plants are cultured under continuous light conditions.

(A) Maltose content in leaves, (B) total chlorophyll content in leaves, (C) rosette FW and (D) external phenotype of 20 DAS WT (Col-0), mex1 and mex1/pglct plants cultured on soil under CL conditions. (E) External phenotype and (F) leaf maltose content in 20 DAS WT and mex1/pglct plants cultured on solid MS medium with or without 90 mM sucrose supplementation. In “A”, “B”, “C” and “F” values represent the means ± SE determined from three independent experiments using 6 plants in each experiment. Asterisks indicate significant differences with respect to WT plants according to Student´s t-tests (p<0.05).
