Requirement of ATP maintenance for transcription in representative dark repressed or induced genes under dark conditions. a Loss of ATP recovery in the dark resulting from the respiratory electron transport inhibitor, DBMIB or the inhibitor of cytochrome c oxidase, KCN. We analysed and represented data as shown similarly in Fig. 1e. b Temporal expression profiles of representative dark repressed or induced genes obtained from three independent northern hybridisation analyses when DBMIB was used as the inhibitor of respiration. c Attenuated dark-induced transcriptional changes for representative dark repressed or induced genes when the cells were treated with KCN for the inhibition of respiration. Each plot shows the results of two independent northern blot analyses. For panels b and c, data representation is consistent with that in Fig. 1a DBMIB 2,5-dibromo-3-methyl-6-isopropylbenzoquinone
