Rhythmic expression of opn4a and opn4.1.

(A, B) Larvae maintained in 14:10 LD or 18:6 LD cycles were collected every 4 hours starting at ZT1. Expression of (A) opn4a and (B) opn4.1 show diurnal rhythms with different phases for each light cycle. The rhythm of opn4a expression is a single wide waveform in 14:10 LD, and either a dual waveform or an ultradian rhythm at 18:6 LD. Under the same LD conditions, expression of opn4.1 shows a reversal in the waveforms with respect to opn4a. (C) Summary graph representing the relative expression levels of opn4a and opn4.1 under the two photoperiods depicted as white (light phase) and black (dark phase) bars.
