Core circadian and light genes cycle in Wolffia with global expression over the day. (AD) Circadian clock and light signaling TOD gene expression in wa8730 is similar to that found in other plants. (A) sMYB (blue) and LHY (red) cycle with dawn specific expression. (B) PRR5 (blue), PRR9 (red), and PRR73 (green) show waves of expression similar to other species. (C) GI (blue), ZTL (red), and ELF3 (green) cycle with evening-specific expression. (D) Light signaling genes CRY (blue), SPA1 (red), and PIL3 (green) cycle over the day. (E) Heatmap of the cycling genes with red indicating high expression and blue indicating low expression. Genes are on the y-axis and time is on the x-axis.
