Log₁₀-transformed relative transcript abundance of photosynthesis-related genes in lamina and stubble of perennial ryegrass plants that had low or high carbon reserves.

LC, plants with low carbon reserves; HC, plants with high carbon reserves; SED, standard error of the difference; rbcS1 and rbcS2, ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) small subunits; rca, Rubisco activase; lhcb1 and lhcb2, Light harvesting chlorophyll a/b binding proteins; fba, fructose bisphosphate aldolase; fbp, fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase; fnr, ferredoxin NADP(H) oxidoreductase. Symbols †, *, **, *** and NS indicate significant differences between transcript abundance means at the <0.10, <0.05, <0.01 and <0.001 probability levels and lack of difference at the >0.10 probability level, respectively.
