Enhanced photoprotective xanthophyll content in young leaves of AtPDS.OE lines. (a) Lutein and β‐carotene contents in young leaves of stable, T2 generation AtPDS.OE lines compared to wild type (n = 5, error bars ±SEM) (*P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001). (b) Zeaxanthin and β‐cryptoxanthin contents in young leaves of stable, T2 generation AtPDS.OE lines compared to wild type (n = 5, error bars ±SEM) (*P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001). (c) Endogenous regulation of carotenoid biosynthetic genes, deoxyxylulose 5‐phosphate (DXP) synthase, DXS; phytoene synthase 1, PSY1; chloroplast‐specific lycopene β‐cyclase CRTL‐B1; and chloroplast‐specific carotene β‐hydroxylase, CRTR‐B1 (n = 5, in triplicate; error bars ±SEM).
