Figure 5

TRiP can be applied to a wide range of plant species with varying leaf morphologies. (From top to bottom: Brassica rapa, Arabidopsis thaliana, Cleome violacea, Glycine max, Mimulus guttatus, and Solanum lycopersicum. Plants were imaged every 20 minutes for 5 days under constant light and temperature at 20 ∘C except Glycine max, which was imaged at 25 ∘C. For each species, the relative vertical motion traces are an average of 8 individual plants (except Solanum lycopersicum, where n = 5) analyzed over 5 days. Shading indicates the standard deviation. White and gray bars below each trace indicate subjective day and subjective night, respectively, defined by the entraining photocycle. The phylogenetic relationships among the species are indicated at the right.
