Figure 4

Diurnal expression of the luciferase gene (LUC) driven by the 1400 bp upstream fragment of the QH6 promoter, with the G-box intacted (1400::LUC) or mutated (1400M::LUC). Arabidopsis thaliana Col-0 plants were transformed by 1400::LUC and 1400M::LUC constructs. The activity of luciferase expressed was quantified by measuring the radiance emitted and captured in 4 min by IVIS Lumina XR Imaging System (Caliper Life Sciences). Plants were growing in standard 12h/12h light/dark conditions. ZT is Zeitgeber time and here represents time from light on at dawn. Filled and open bars indicate subjective days and nights. Data represent means ± SD. The differences of expression levels were assessed by unpaired Student's t-test. *p < 0.05 and **p < 0.01 in 1400::LUC vs. 1400M::LUC transgenic Col-0 plants.
