Figure 1

Genomic structures of major clock genes. The clock gene sequences were analyzed using the softwares provided by the TAIR database. The predicted genome structures of CCA1 (A), PRR7 (B), PRR9 (C), TOC1 (D), ELF3 (E), and ZTL (F) genes are displayed. Black boxes depict exons. White boxes are 5′ and 3′ UTRs. F and R are primers used for RT-PCR analysis of the RNA splice variants (see Figure 2). The α transcripts encode full-size, authentic proteins, and the β transcripts encode truncated forms. Asterisks indicate premature termination codons (PTCs). b, bases. The genomic structure of CCA1 gene, which has already been reported by us [27], was included here for the benefit of the reader.
