Diurnal changes in relative transcript abundance in summer (Jul 30-31, 2012) and winter (Dec 22-23, 2011) analyzed by microarray and qPCR. The microarray data of summer samples (green line) and qPCR data of summer (blue line) and winter (red line) samples represent the means from three biological replicates at 12 time points. The microarray data of winter samples (purple line) are from 8 selected time points (4:00/8:00/12:00/16:00/20:00/24:00 on day 1 and 12:00/24:00 on day 2) without a biological replication. The data obtained for each time point were compared with the data obtained for shoots collected at 4:00 on Jul 30, 2012. Gray and black bars below graph respectively represent natural length of day and night (measured between sunrise and sunset) in summer (upper) and winter (lower), provided by the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan. The genes isolated in this study have the prefix `Cj’ in their names.
