25. Period estimates under constant conditions were based on an analysis of the time series between hour 12 and the end of the time course.
26. In gi-2, cab2::luc expression damped too rapidly at lower fluence rates and longer time courses to obtain reliable period estimates.
27. The th1 mutation has a defect in thiamin monophosphate phosphatase. The TH1 gene was cloned by functional complementation of an Escherichia coli mutation [Y. S. Kim et al., Plant Mol. Biol. 37, 955 (1998)]. The cDNA done that we initially isolated was from Brassica napus. Sequencing of the Brassica cDNA clone and a database search revealed an Arabidopsis homolog that resides in the Arabidopsis TH1 locus. The Brassica done, pBTMP1, was used to screen a BAC library of A. thaliana [S. Choi, R. A. Creelman, J. E. Mullet, R. A. Wing, Plant Mol. Biol. Rep. 13, 124 (1995)].

32. The ORF of the cDNA sequence showed a minor difference from the ORF predicted from the genomic sequence.
33. The mean variance-weighted periods and associated variance-weighted SD (6) for Gl, CCA1, and LHY cycling transcript levels were obtained from three independent trials with fast Fourier transform-nonlinear least squares (FFT-NLLS) curve-fitting software (27). The low amplitude of the gi-2 data did not allow precise period estimates, and we cannot exclude the possibility that these rhythms are rapidly damping to arrhythmicity. However, the results are consistent with the lengthening of period seen in the more highly resolved luminescence rhythms (Table 1).

40. Variance-weighted period estimates and the assodated variance-weighted SD (6) of the cycling of Gl transcript levels in wild-type (23.9 ± 1.9 hours), gi-1 (22.9 ± 1.5 hours), and gi-2 (25.5 ± 4.6 hours) backgrounds were obtained from two independent trials with FFT-NLLS curve-fitting software (27). In extended DD, LHY transcript levels were too low or the time series were too short to obtain reliable period estimates. CCA1 expression is reported to damp rapidly in DD (8) and was not considered here.

42. 2 population (n = 36) of seedlings segregating for gi-2 {[gi-2 (Col) × 2CAC F3] × Col) were scored for the correlation between the luminescence-based circadian phenotype and the presence of either a 5-bp deletion in gi-1 or for a 7-bp deletion in gi-2. Each genotype was identified by PCR with primer pairs that uncovered a 5-bp deletion in gi-1 (primer pairs, 5′-GGAGTTGCAGCCTTGGATCG-3′ and 5′-AGATCTGATGCACTTGCGAG-3′) and a 7-bp deletion in gi-2 (primer pairs, 5′-CAGAATGACTATTCGGAGCA-3′ and 5′-GGAGAACCACTAGTTGTAGC-3′).
