Fig. 4From: Photosynthetic Enhancement, Lifespan Extension, and Leaf Area Enlargement in Flag Leaves Increased the Yield of Transgenic Rice Plants Overproducing Rubisco Under Sufficient N FertilizationRelationships between relative light intensity and cumulative leaf area index (LAI) of the wild-type and RBCS-sense rice plants at 10 DAH in the early ripening stage in the plots applied with 15 g N m−2 fertilizer. The wild-type and RBCS-sense rice plants are represented by black circles and red squares, respectively. The slope of the line represents the light extinction coefficient (K). Covariance analyses were conducted between wild-type and RBCS-sense rice plants, and no significant differences were detected in the light extinction coefficient (K) and the intercept (y). The abbreviations stand as follows: “LAI”; leaf area index, “RBCS-sense”; transgenic rice plants overproducing Rubisco, “Wild”; wild-type rice plantsBack to article page
