Steady State Amounts of chlL, chlN, and chlB Transcripts in Wild Type and y Mutant Strains of Chlamydomonas.

Shown are the results of semiquantitative RT-PCR analysis of chlL, chlN, and chlB transcripts in wild-type (WT) and y mutant strains of Chlamydomonas grown in continuous light (white bars) or darkness (black bars). In the experiment, rbcL transcript levels served as an internal control, and the relative abundance of each plastid transcript was normalized against the 16S rRNA. Given are the mean ±sd of at least three independent amplification reactions.
