From: Rubisco activity and activation state dictate photorespiratory plasticity in Betula papyrifera acclimated to future climate conditions

Fig. 2

Chloroplastic photorespiratory enzyme activities in B. papyrifera at 25 °C and 35 °C. Specific activities per m2 leaf area were measured in B. papyrifera using crude protein extract for rubisco (total activity), phosphoglycolate phosphatase, and glycerate kinase. Colors represent temperature treatments, with ambient temperature in yellow, ambient temperature + 4 °C in orange, and ambient temperature + 8 °C in red. No hatching pattern denotes ambient CO2 concentration, while hatching represents elevated CO2. Shown are the boxplots as well as the points indicating the biological replicates (n = 6). Significant difference between treatment types is indicated by letters as determined by Two-way ANOVA and Tukey–Kramer ad hoc test with p < 0.05.
