Expression levels in the absence and presence of blue light. Quantitative PCR(qPCR) was used to detect the transcriptional levels of three genes. The relative transcript levels of hem8 (A), tku70 (B), and dmm2 (C) at 0, 1, and 2 h for blue light cultivation were analyzed. The mRNA level of the reference gene rpl6e was set as an endogenous control in all samples. Error bars indicate the means ± SEMs (n = 3 samples) from the same experiment. Asterisks indicate significant differences from the corresponding dark cultivation (*P < 0.05) based on one-way analysis of variance
