| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Under natural conditions, thermoperiod rather than photoperiod would entrain the eclosion rhythm, because Delia antiqua pupates until 20 cm deep in the soil where no light penetrates. Since the amplitude of daily change in temperature decreases with depth in the soil, pupae lying deeper in the soil would eclose as adults at the optimal time period of early morning despite of the depth-dependent phase delay of the Zeitgeber (morning signal). In this study it is implied (1) that continuous light weaken the coupling strength between eclosion rhythm and thermoperiod compared with the continuous darkness, (2) that high or low temperature stimulus exhibited phase-shifting effects in the circadian clock, (3) that the phase of oscillation in the expression pattern of per was earlier at 1 °C temperature step than at 8 °C temperature step.
