The relationship between Rubisco content and total chloroplast volume per leaf area.

Abstract

<p>The line represents the regression equation: y = 0.79x+1.36, R² = 0.88, <i>P</i><<i>0.01</i>. Data sources: <i>Nicotiana tabacum</i> □ <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0062036#pone.0062036-Evans3" target="_blank">[21]</a>; <i>Chenopodium album</i> ▴ <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0062036#pone.0062036-Oguchi1" target="_blank">[48]</a>; <i>Aucuba japonica</i> Thunb. △ <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0062036#pone.0062036-Muller1" target="_blank">[24]</a>. The two data points in dotted cycles are from transgenic tobacco with a reduced Rubisco content.</p
