Fig 1: Enhanced photosynthesis by overexpressing MIR408. (A) Comparison of net photosynthetic rate between the wild type and MIR408-OX transgenic plants grown in soil for 2 weeks (n = 5). (B) The net photosynthetic rate is positively correlated with stomatal conductance (Gs) and negatively correlated with internal CO2 concentration (Ci) (n = 5). (C) Glucose content in the shoots of plants grown in soil for 2 weeks (n = 3). (D) Immunoblot analysis of PETE (PC) protein levels in the wild type and MIR408-OX transgenic plants. Values represent PETE2 levels normalized against the loading control RPT5 using Image J software and set to one for wild type. Data are means ± SD from n biological repeats. ∗p < 0.01, ∗∗p < 0.05 vs. the wild type, by two-tailed Student’s t-test.
