CO2 assimilation rate in the flag leaves (A) and penultimate leaf blades (B) of the wild-type and RBCS-sense rice plants at the early ripening stage in the plots applied with 15 g N m−2 fertilizer. The CO2 assimilation rates were measured at 1 DAH for flag leaves and 4 DAH for the penultimate leaves using LI-6400XT (Li-Cor). Mean values ± the standard error of 5–7 independent rice plants is shown. The wild-type and RBCS-sense rice plants are represented by black circles and red squares, respectively. *p < 0.05 between the wild-type and RBCS-sense rice plants using Student’s t-test. The abbreviations stand as following: “DAH”; days after heading, “RBCS-sense”; transgenic rice plants overproducing Rubisco, “Wild”, wild-type rice plant
