Fig. 5.
Changes of metabolites for photosynthesis and photorespiration during photosynthetic induction. Vertical and horizontal axes represent metabolite content (μmol m−2) and times after irradiation (min), respectively. Asterisks indicate significance at *P<0.05, **P<0.01, and ***P<0.001 between cultivars (t-test). ns, no significant difference. Values are means ±SE (n=6). Abbreviations: X5P, xylulose 5-phosphate; Ru5P, ribulose 5-phosphate; RuBP, ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate; 3PGA, 3-phosphoglycerate; G3P, glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate; DHAP, dihydroxyacetone phosphate; FBP, fructose 1,6-bisphosphate; F6P, fructose 6-phosphate; S7P, sedoheptulose 7-phosphate; R5P, ribose 5-phosphate.
