Photosynthetic parameters measurements.
(A) Potential quantum efficiency of PSII (Fv/Fm) of control (filled triangles), XccWT (open circles) and ΔXacPNP (solid circles) infiltrated citrus leaves (B) Effective quantum efficiency of PSII (F′v/F′m) (C) PSII operating efficiency (φPSII). (D) Photochemical fluorescence quenching (qP). (E) Nonphotochemical fluorescence quenching (NPQ). B–E were measured in control, XccWT and ΔXacPNP infiltrated citrus leaves as represented as in A. (F) CO2 assimilation measured on infiltrated citrus leaves at 48 hpi. The results are the mean of five replicates and error bars represent the standard deviations.
