The model reproduces the driven entrainment observed in photic T-cycles. A. Simulated variation of conidiation onset with photic T-cycle length. As in Figure 4, conidiation onset was identified with the FRQ falling phase ϕ FRQ . Also plotted are the peak and trough times of frq mRNA and FRQ protein. White and grey regions denote light and dark respectively. The dotted line indicates a fixed period of time following dusk. B. Dusk sensitivities ∂ϕ/∂t DUSK of the phase measures shown in A for T = 21 (see Additional file 1, Figure S3 for the sensitivities over the full range of T-cycle lengths). ∂ϕ FRQ /∂t DUSK is close to 1: conidiation onset therefore tracks dusk.
