Of the 95 phytohormone genes that significantly matched the models in L counterpart (negative correlation), and 13 were not significantly expressed.
-
These results suggest that the expression of the HUD-containing phytohormone genes increases in the absence of light signaling (darkness or the light signaling mutant, phyB) and that, in part, the circadian clock specifically acts to abrogate this expression during the early part of the dark period.
-
One explanation is that the circadian clock is required to maintain flux through downstream light signaling pathways in the early part of the night, so despite the plant experiencing darkness, HUD-containing phytohormone gene expression is moderate under long nights.

The phytohormone gene list should be considered a tool rather than representing an exhaustive inventory of all known phytohormone genes.
