Additional file 4: of A novel photic entrainment mechanism for the circadian clock in an insect: involvement of c-fos and cryptochromes

Figure S3. A: Gb’c-fosARNAi had no significant effects on the light induced phase advance in the cricket Gryllus bimaculatus. A 3 h light pulse was given at ZT20 on the day of transfer to DD, which was seven days after dsRNA injection. Numbers in the parenthesis indicate the number of animals used. B and C: Gb’c-fosARNAi significantly knocked down Gb’c-fosA mRNA levels (*P < 0.05, t-test), but had no significant effect on Gb’c-fosB mRNA levels. mRNA levels were measured by qPCR and are shown relative to those of Gb’rpl18a. The values shown are mean ± SEM of four samples. (PDF 69 kb
