Figure 8From: Arabidopsisplants grown in the field and climate chambers significantly differ in leaf morphology and photosystem componentsPhotosynthetic functions in Arabidopsis thaliana in different growth regimes. Plants were grown in climate chambers under Low, Normal or High Light (LL, NL and HL; 30, 300 and 600 μmol quanta m-2 s-1, respectively) and under field conditions. Photosynthetic function was assessed in dark-adapted leaves. Light response curves are shown for (A) Fv/Fm (B) non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) and (C) qP. Data represent means ± SE for leaves from at least six plants grown in two batches. Different lower case letters above bars indicate significant differences (p < 0.001), according to separate Duncan's new multiple range tests followed by contrast analysis (indoor vs. field plants) applied to data presented in each column.Back to article page
