Diurnal cycle effect on whole leaf, mesophyll and vasculature: time course

Many organisms acquired circadian clock system to adapt daily and seasonal environmental changes. Mammals have the master clock in the brains suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) that synchronizes other circadian clocks in the peripheral tissues or organs. Plants also have circadian clock in their bodies, but the presence of the tissue-specific functions of circadian clock is remained elusive. The aim of this experiment is to compare tissue-specific gene expression profile using gene expression Microarray.
