Cut Rosette Water Loss of esk1 homozygous mutant lines and wild type. Cut Rosette Water Loss (CRWL, %) was determined for the esk1-6 homozygous mutant line (grey) and WS wild-type (black), in control (A) and mild water deficit conditions (B) (averaged determination method, table 2), and for esk1-4 (grey triangles) and esk1-5 (grey circles) homozygous mutant lines and Col-0 wild-type (black), in control (C) and mild water deficit conditions (D) (averaged determination method, table 2). For (A) and (B), measurements were made on two replicates of 5 rosettes each that are plotted (empty squares for Col-0 and empty diamonds for esk1-6); the curves show the means. For (C) and (D) measurements were made on five replicates of two rosettes each; the curves show the means and error bars represent standard errors. Weights were measured every 10 minutes. Inset: real transpiration measured every hour for a 6 hours period, in averaged control conditions. Each bar represents the mean data of 5 plants. Error bars are standard errors. * indicates a significant statistical difference P < 0.05 between wild type and mutants.
