Total Leaf Area of esk1 mutant lines and wild type. Total Leaf Area (TLA, cm²), calculated for the esk1-6 homozygous mutant line and WS wild-type (A), as well as esk1-4 and esk1-5 homozygous mutant lines and Col-0 wild-type (B), in control (grey bars) and mild water deficit (black bars) conditions, determined using the averaged approach as described in Table 2. Stress was induced in plants at growth stage 1.07 for (A) and at 1.06 for (B). Measurements were made on 10 plants of each genotype and in each condition. Error bars are standard errors. * indicates a significant statistical difference (P < 0.05) between control and water deficit conditions.
