50 genes down regulated in NIL189 compared to Ler 5 genes up regulated in NIL189 compared to Ler Gene Expression polymorphism between Ler and NIL189
13
At1g21600 only gene in the LIGHT1 interval that is misexpressed
14
At1g21600 is circadian-regulated
15
No quantitative hypocotyl differences in 22 lines TDNA lines in the LIGHT1 region

LIGHT1: At1g21600
17
Tilling: splice junction TDNA: Salk_024431 Ler: F29L Tilling: D103N Tilling Intron; C to T Tilling: A30= At1g21600 an allelic series of artificial mutations
18
At1g21600 is a single copy gene in multiple plant species
19
LF 5’ end of At1g21600 is not well conserved At1g21600 The candidate QTN has mutated several times independantly
20
Natural Varition in At1g21600 3 nt and 1 AA change between Ler and Cvi 10 accessions sequenced for 5’ end of At1g21600 Mt-0 (North Africa) shares AA change with Ler (Poland) Sequenced 96 accessions for At1g21600, LIGHT1 candidate gene Magnus Nordborg
21
At1g21600 AA change is associated with Hypocotyl length and Flowering time Hypocotyl data: P-value Red light + PhyB 20.01828 Red light + PhyB 70.01627 White light + PhyB 70.04189 Blue light + PhyB 10.03489 Flowering time data: LD True Leaf Number + FRI0.01482 LD Days to Flowering + FRI0.004912
