Table 1. Measurements of RuBisCO and chlorophyll contents, and stomatal characteristics in leaves. Transgenic (S1, U9) and control (Ct) leaves at 44 DAS were subjected to measure stomatal characteristics and content of RuBisCO and chlorophyll according to Yamori et al. (2011).
| RuBisCO (g m−2) | Chlorophyll (g m−2) | Stomatal density (mm−2) | Stomatal index | Stomatal length (µm) | Stomatal width (µm) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ct | 1.17±0.07 | 0.366±0.015 | 270±12.8 | 0.278±0.009 | 24.7±0.4 | 15.5±0.3 |
| S1 | 1.20±0.06 | 0.370±0.018 | 274±12.5 | 0.254±0.028 | 24.7±0.5 | 15.0±0.4 |
| U9 | 1.24±0.04 | 0.373±0.013 | 278±10.5 | 0.263±0.007 | 24.4±0.6 | 15.1±0.3 |
There were no significant differences between transgenic (S1, U9) and control (Ct) plants. Data represent mean plus standard errors. n=5.
