Temporal Abundance of Key Enzymes in Photorespiratory Pathway and Calvin Cycle.

(A) Examples of protein abundance changes in the photorespiratory pathway. Protein abundance is shown as log₂-transformed and normalized spectral counts (y axis).

An asterisk in (A) and (B) indicates the significantly higher level (P < 0.05) of protein abundance in the hybrids than the MPV (Student’s t test), with one exception (below the MPV as indicated by the arrow). GOX, GRMZM2G129246; CAT, GRMZM2G090568; GDC, GRMZM2G104310; GOA (glutamine oxoglutarate aminotransferase), GRMZM2G036609.

(B) Examples of protein abundance changes in the Calvin cycle. RCA, GRMZM2G162200; TK, GRMZM2G033208.
