Fig. 2From: The existence of C4-bundle-sheath-like photosynthesis in the mid-vein of C3 riceEnzymatic activities and protein levels in C3 or C4 cycle of mid-veins and leaf laminae. a Enzymatic activities are expressed as micromole per minute per mg Chl. b Immunoblot of C3 and C4 cycle enzymes (15 μg protein per spot). c Quantification of immunoblot data. Images were analyzed using Quantity One (Bio-Rad, USA). Data are means ± SE (n = 3), with the asterisk indicating statistically significant differences (P < 0.05) between mid-veins and leaf laminaeBack to article page
