Pigment composition and PSII quantum efficiency of P. patens WT and ndufb10 and ndufa5 mutant lines
| Genotype | Chl a/Chl b | Chl/Car | Chl content (µg mg−1 DW) | F v/Fm |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WT | 2.62 ± 0.14 | 3.73 ± 0.37 | 18.5 ± 2.7 | 0.79 ± 0.01 |
| ndufb10 | 2.59 ± 0.20 | 3.65 ± 0.40 | 18.9 ± 3.0 | 0.78 ± 0.02 |
| ndufa5 | 2.64 ± 0.21 | 3.60 ± 0.42 | 18.7 ± 2.7 | 0.79 ± 0.01 |
Chl a/b ratio, Chl/car ratio, total Chl content and PSII quantum yield (estimated by Fv/Fm) were evaluated in plants cultivated for 10 d in a minimal medium at 50 µmol photons m−2 s−1. For each measurement, average ± sd (n ≥ 5) is reported.
