From: A foliar pigment-based bioassay for interrogating chloroplast signalling revealed that carotenoid isomerisation regulates chlorophyll abundance

Chlorophyll and carotenoid content in young and old leaves from carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase (ccd), xanthophyll, SL and ABA mutants. The average total chlorophyll (A, C), and carotenoid (B, D) content in young and old leaves from WT and mutants are displayed with error bars denoting the standard error (n = 4). Data is representative of two experimental repetitions. Letters denote statistical variation (p < 0.05) within leaf types across different germplasm determined using a Two-Way ANOVA and post-hoc Holm-Sidak multiple comparison. ccd1; carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase, ccd4; carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase 4, ccd7; carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase 7 (max3), ccd8; carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase 8 (max4); npq1; nonphotochemical quenching 1 (violaxanthin deepoxidase), npq2; nonphotochemical quenching 2 (zeaxanthin deepoxidase), aba4; abscisic acid deficient 4 (neoxanthin synthaseS), lut2; lutein defecient 2 (epsilon-lycopene cyclase)
