Fig. 3
Leaf soluble sugars and starch dynamics as a function of predawn water potential. Dots represent soluble sugars (gray) and starch (black) concentrations for individual leaf measurements along the dehydration experiment. Solid regression lines and 95% confidence intervals (gray-shaded areas) are included in significant relations. Coefficients of determination for each NSC type are included following the same color code. Soluble sugar concentration results from the sum of fructose, glucose, and sucrose concentrations. *0.01 < P < 0.05; ***P < 0.001. Additional figures depicting starch and soluble sugar concentration dynamics and distinguishing different light treatments are available in Appendix Figs. 12 and 13
