It was found that Cyanothece 51142 continues to oscillate between photosynthesis and respiration in continuous light under mixotrophy with cycle time of ∼13 h.
"In continuous light, photosynthesis was occurring," he said.
Newborn mice kept in continuous light during this interval will not ovulate regularly.
None of the promoters provided free-running oscillations in continuous light (CL) following diurnal LD entrainment, but growth in CL resulted in constant mid-level bioluminescence.
The activity of hydroxyindole-O-methyltransferase, the melatoninforming enzyme in the pineal gland, is several times greater in rats kept in continuous darkness than in those kept in continuous light.
Further, the fungus exhibited a pronounced diurnal periodicity, and maximum luminescence was noted between 6 and 9 pm, regardless as to whether the mycelial cultures were incubated in continuous light, continuous darkness, or a normal day-night cycle.
This rhythm is maintained in constant darkness (DD) and in continuous light (LL).
elf3 loss-of-function alleles result in early flowering, hypocotyl elongation, and conditional arrhythmicity in continuous light [16], [17].
However, in continuous light, the growth phase is shifted to the day and amino acid pools are no longer depleted.
All other growth was in continuous light at an intensity of 150 µmol photons · m2 · s−1 at the same temperature.
To test this, we measured auxin transport activities in roots of 5-day-old plants grown either in continuous light or in dark.
