Figure 6From: Alternative splicing and nonsense-mediated decay of circadian clock genes under environmental stress conditions in ArabidopsisEffects of photoperiod on the alternative splicing of the clock genes. Ten-day-old Col-0 plants grown on MS-agar plates under either LDs or SDs were harvested at the indicated ZT points for the extraction of total RNA samples. The levels of the RNA splice variants of CCA1 (A), PRR7 (B), PRR9 (C), TOC1 (D), ELF3 (E), and ZTL (F) genes were determined by qRT-PCR. Biological triplicates were averaged. Bars indicate the standard error of the mean.Back to article page
