  1. Contents of chlorophyll, protein and RNA were determined in leaf samples (n between 3 and 8 independent experiments, m ± SD; different letters mark significance groups according to t-test, p ≤ 0.05). Effective quantum yield of photosystem II as measured by pulse amplitude modulated chlorophyll fluorimetry is shown as m ± SD with n = 30 from 3 independent experiments. Letters mark groups of significant difference according to t-test, with p ≤ 0.01. Data are from [11].
