Table 3 Temperature (TP, °C) at which fluorescence yield enhancement occurs in several Arabidopsis lines. Plants were grown at 17°C or 29°C and fluorescence was analyzed continuously using an OSI systems fluorometer during heating at 0.75 °C min-1, as described in methods. TP is the transition point temperature corresponding to 50% of the maximal quantum yield due to leaf heating. Values are the means ± SE on six determinations conducted on two different plants for 17°C-grown plants and four determinations for 29°C-grown plants. Asterisks indicate significant differences from the value obtained for wild-type plants, * P < 0.05; ** P < 0.01. ND, not determined.
