Abstract The mRNAs encoding the chlorophyll a/b binding (cab) proteins of the light harvesting system were monitored in the wild cereals, wild emmer wheat,Triticum dicoccoides, and wild barley,Hordeum spontaneum, the progenitors of all cultivated wheats and barley, respectively. Significantly different mRNA levels were detected at different time points during the day, with generally low levels around sunrise, sunset and midnight, and maximum levels around noon. These results indicate that a diurnal control of thecab gene expression is present in these ancient species.
