In all cases, media pH was corrected to pH 5.8. Unless otherwise stated, seeds were surface-sterilized before being stratified in the dark at 4°C for 48 h prior to transfer to the growth chamber. Plants were grown in Sanyo MLR-350 growth chambers at a constant temperature (20°C). The light level during photoperiods or constant light was 50 μmol m−2 s−1.\"",

RNA was extracted (RNeasy kit, Qiagen [74904] with additional DNAse digestion) from each sample and cDNA synthesized (Taq-Man, Applied Biosystems [N808-0234] reverse transcriptase kit) for each time point. Real-time reverse transcription (RT)-PCR was carried out in triplicate with SYBR Green PCR Master mix (Applied Biosystems [4309155]) using an Applied Biosystems Prism-7300. Levels of specific mRNA and βTUBULIN4 (βTUB4) controls were calculated by the standard curve method (Applied Biosystems user bulletin 2); the relative expression (arbitrary units) of each gene of interest was obtained by dividing by contemporaneous βTUB4 expression. No-RT and no-template controls were included as negative controls for each set of reactions. Two or three independent biological repeats gave similar results."

"comments": "Experiment by Harriet McWatters lab in Oxford, perhaps ca. 2007. Published in Flis et al. RS Open Biology 2015.\nPrep details From Knight, Thomson and McWatters PP 2008: \"seedlings were grown on plates containing 1× MS salts with 0.8% to 1% agar and, where indicated, supplemented with 3% (w/v) Suc. In all cases, media pH was corrected to pH 5.8. Unless otherwise stated, seeds were surface-sterilized before being stratified in the dark at 4°C for 48 h prior to transfer to the growth chamber. Plants were grown in Sanyo MLR-350 growth chambers at a constant temperature (20°C). The light level during photoperiods or constant light was 50 μmol m−2 s−1.\"",

"description": "From Knight et al. 2008: Samples of 20 to 30 seedlings were collected every 3 h and snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen; the first sample was collected at subjective dawn on day 14, after 24 h in LL. Similarly, for analysis of flowering time gene expression, seedlings were grown on plates as described above in LD 16:8 photoperiods for 13 d and sampled every 2 h on day 14 in a free-running cycle. RNA was extracted (RNeasy kit, Qiagen [74904] with additional DNAse digestion) from each sample and cDNA synthesized (Taq-Man, Applied Biosystems [N808-0234] reverse transcriptase kit) for each time point. Real-time reverse transcription (RT)-PCR was carried out in triplicate with SYBR Green PCR Master mix (Applied Biosystems [4309155]) using an Applied Biosystems Prism-7300. Levels of specific mRNA and βTUBULIN4 (βTUB4) controls were calculated by the standard curve method (Applied Biosystems user bulletin 2); the relative expression (arbitrary units) of each gene of interest was obtained by dividing by contemporaneous βTUB4 expression. No-RT and no-template controls were included as negative controls for each set of reactions. Two or three independent biological repeats gave similar results."
