Figure 9From: An engineered pathway for glyoxylate metabolism in tobacco plants aimed to avoid the release of ammonia in photorespirationThe effect of transfer from elevated CO 2 to ambient CO 2 on the content of sugars in tobacco shoots. Plants were grown for 30 days in elevated CO2 (3000 μmol mol-1) and half were transferred to ambient CO2 (350 μmol mol-1) for 3 days. The results, μmol g-1 dry mass, are means for three replicates ± SEM, open bars ■for plants at elevated CO2, solid bars ■for plants after 3 days in ambient CO2. Statistical evaluation in: Additional Files, Additional File 1 Tables S3 and S4.Back to article page
