Expression pattern and metabolic processes of diurnally cycling genes in rice. (A) Expression pattern graphs of genes within the 4 major sub-clusters derived from hierarchical clustering of diurnally cycling genes (Additional file 3: Figure S1A) that mapped to RiceCyc metabolic pathways. (B) A metabolic cellular expression overlay of the 4 major diurnal gene expression clusters (the 4 sub-clusters in Additional file 3: Figure S1A and sub-graphs in Additional file 6: Figure S3A above) that show peak expression at 0 h, 8 h, 12 h and 20 h respectively. Boxed pathways: (1) phenylpropanoid (lignin) metabolism, (2) cholesterol biosynthesis, (3) glycolipid and phospholipid desaturation, (4) mevalonate pathway, (5) momilactone pathways, (6) gibberellins biosynthesis, (7) IAA biosynthesis.
