Gene expression in the retina of different strains of D. melanogaster. A—per gene; B—tim; C—clk, D—cry, E—Atpα, F—nrv2, G—brp. Tissues were collected at five time points: ZT1, ZT4, ZT13, ZT16, ZT20 in LD12:12 and CT1, CT4, CT13, CT16, CT20 in DD. Relative quantitation (RQ) determines the changes in steady-state mRNA level, data are normalized to ZT1 in LD 12:12 or CT1 in DD (value = 1.0). Gene expression was examined in LD 12:12 light conditions for Canton S, cry01, Pdf 0, cry>itp-RNAi, per01 and in constant darkness (DD) for Canton S. Statistical analyses were carried out to compare differences between time points for each genotype in the same condition. Statistically significant differences are indicated with small letters (A–D) in tables next to the figures. The same letter means no significant differences between those time points.
