Leaf-specific DEG attributed to photosynthesis are enhanced in SPL13RNAi plants. a Summary of affected metabolites and pathways between drought-stressed EV and SPL13RNAi leaf tissues, b transcripts coding for light-dependent photosynthetic reaction in the chloroplast thylakoids, c carbon dioxide fixation in Calvin cycle in chloroplast stroma region, d photorespiration-associated transcripts involving chloroplast, mitochondria and peroxisome differentially regulated between drought-stressed SPL13RNAi and EV plants. Transcript fold changes are provided in log 2 with red and blue colours representing increased and decreased transcript levels relative to EV. Minor CHO corresponds to minor charbohydrate; TCA, Tricarboxylic acid cycle; OPP, oxidative pentose phosphate pathway. N = 3 biological replicates for each genotype and treatment condition
