Figure 8

Cosinor curves for the relative mRNA expression of Clock Genes in Nematostella vectensis . Data of a) Clock, b) Cycle, c) Timeout, d) Cry1a, e) Cry1b and f) Cry2 in individuals of Nematostella vectensis kept in a light–dark (12:12 h), constant darkness cycle, or constant darkness with melatonin supplementation (0.1 μM) normalized by the ribosomal protein P0, where a significant curve fit was obtained. The horizontal line, the mesor, represents the mean oscillation, and the vertical arrow, the acrophase, the time of occurrence of the daily-peak of melatonin. Each point represents five individuals/samples.
