Circadian rhythms of different organisms in non-24-h conditions. a leaf movement (alternatively opening and closing) rhythms of Canavalia ensiformis (C. ensiformis); b Conidiation banding rhythms of N. crassa. Neurospora is inoculated in a long and hollow glass tube with medium inside which is called a race tube. In the race tube, Neurospora grows towards the other end and releases conidiation bands colored orange. The release of conidiation is controlled by the circadian clock. Only the left part of the race tubes is shown; c rectal temperature rhythms of C. Saimiri. Neurospora conidiation rhythms are entrained in LD 12:12, LD 6:6 and LD 3:3, while Canavalia leaf movement rhythms and submarine crew rectal temperature rhythms were not entrained in LD 6:6. Therefore, they have different entrainment ranges. Panel a was drawn according to the study by [24], panel b was drawn according to the study by [25], and panel c was drawn according to the study by [26]
