Growth analysis of Arabidopsis WT and the Rubisco mutants using iDIEL Plant. a Daily PRAs (represented by the dots and trend line) and relative expansion rates (RER; bars) were calculated using the last VIS image obtained in each light period over 15 days. Values are the mean ± SE of measurements made on six individual rosettes for each genotype. The RER values shown are the average RER obtained every 3 days; asterisks indicate significant difference (p ≤ 0.05) as determined by one-way ANOVA and post hoc Tukey’s multiple comparison test. b PRAs obtained every 20 min over the entire diel cycle. The solid darker lines represent PRA values and the lighter colours behind the lines are the mean ± SE. The grey bars represent the dark periods. The insert highlights epinastic leaf movements observed for WT plants (transition from 18th dark period to 19th light period). Leaf movements are indicated by the consistent drop in PRA (arrow) in the beginning of the light period (see Additional file 3 for video data)
