v14-induced defective posttranscriptional regulation and psbD mRNA reduction is reversed by high temperatures. A The chlorotic leaves of v14 returned green at 30 °C and 35 °C. Bar = 0.5 cm. B qRT-PCR analysis showed the expression recuperation of rpoC1, rpoC2, and psbD in L1 of v14 at 35 °C. C The maximum photosynthetic quantum yields represented as the Fv/Fm ratios recorded in L1, L2, and L3 of v14 confirmed its recovery of chloroplast function at 35 °C. (B) and (C), The significance compared to T65 grown at 25 °C was analyzed by t test (n = 3) . *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01. D qRT-PCR showing that V14 is continuously expressed in leaves and unresponsive to high temperature. L1-L3, the first to the third true leaf. The relative expression levels shown here are the averages of three independent experiments
