Microarray data indicate that some OPTs vary considerably in their expression levels when exposed to long daylight (LD) or short daylight (SD).
The coral cryptochrome had strong diurnal expression that peaked during the daylight, similar to AmCry2.
Lately we proposed a calculation procedure, presented in form of simple mathematical expressions and diagrams, to determine the daylight illuminance on a vertical plane under overcast skies.
The vivid shifting daylight, the changing waves of expression carried by faces on all the streets, the alternating mutedness and hysteria of the traffic sounds, all say something.
Finally, the expression of Sumo2 (pattern IV) increased during daylight (third condition) and was slightly lower in the rest of conditions.
mRFP1 expression can be readily detected with unaided eyes under daylight in transgenic mice on the albino background.
Conversely, restricting food to daylight hours in mice resulted in a phase-reversal of CYP7A1 expression and significantly elevated aspartate transaminase and alanine transaminase levels.
Once the skies are identified, the basic solar irradiance and daylight illuminance at the surfaces of interest can be obtained, involving simple mathematical expressions.
The expression 'daylight robbery' comes to mind.
