Description

At ZT0 dawn is dim light (6umolm-2s-1) for 6 hours. At ZT6 light steps up to 90 umolm-2s-2. Dusk is lights off at ZT 12. Double dawn cycle is for 4 days then continuous light for 3 days. ie 12L:12D x4 LLx3.

Purpose

Double dawn experiment to compare to Mark Stitt's results

Comments

Pedro is not able to record changes in intensity during an experiment, so please refer to the description & experimental conditions comment for true experimental conditions.

Partner experiment: 100414H2

Sample preparation

Plants sprayed with luciferin on day 6 of growth conditions and transferred to experimental conditions. Imaging was started on day 7.

Measurement

Protocol

Luciferase luminescence (HAM 1)

Seedlings were treated on 6th day with Luciferin. They were then transferred Experimental conditions. Imaging was started on d7.

Imaging script started 5 minutes before ZT0 55mins wait, 5mins lights off, 30mins capture

Experimental conditions

12L:12D

Growth on Agar 1.2% MS 0.5 for 6.0 days (12L:12D). Plants were entrained at light intensity 90 umolm-2s-1 to correspond to the light intensity of the experiment.

6 ShL:6L:12D x4 LLx3

Growth on Agar 1.2% MS 0.5 for 7.0 days (6 ShL:6L:12D x4 LLx3). 4 days of 6 hours dim light (6 umolm-2s-1), 6 hours of bright light (90 umolm-2-s), 12 hours dark followed by 3 days constant light.

The first dawn starts at ZT0

The light intensities are controlled by the arduino.

At max light intensit red = 51 umolm-2s-1 and blue light intensity is 32 umol-2s-1.

The plates were exposed to dim light (lab lights) on the start of experimental day 1 and were transferred to experimental conditions at ZT2 hrs 30.
