a Pigment content of flag leaves in WT and transgenic lines at the heading stage in the field in Beijing, 2018 (n = 6 biological replicates); b–d light response curve of net photosynthesis fitted by the FvCB model (b), stomatal conductance (c), and intercellular CO2 concentration (Ci) (d) generated at 30 °C under normal air conditions in the field in Beijing, 2018 (n = 4 biological replicates). e Apparent quantum yield generated from fitted light response curves. Data are mean ± SE (n = 4 biological replicates). f CO2 response curve of net photosynthesis generated at 1200 µmol m−2 s−1 PPFD and 30 °C in the field in Beijing, 2019. Data are mean ± SE (n = 3 biological replicates). Each dot represents a biological replicate. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 compared with WT according to a two-tailed Student’s t test.
