Expression of the cone-opsin genes in the sws1/sws2/lws triple mutant. The expression levels of the SWS1, SWS2a, SWS2b, RH2a, RH2b/c, and LWSa/b genes in the mutant relative to those in the WT were quantified by the ΔΔCt method using the Actb gene as a reference. The RH2a and RH2b genes and the LWSa and LWSb genes were indistinguishably amplified because of similar nucleotide sequences. Top: Comparison on the ci background (the sws1/sws2 double mutant was included). Bottom: Comparison on the Actb–SLα:GFP background. Each dot represents one individual, and the graph shows the mean and the standard error. Significant differences are indicated by the P value (top: one-way ANOVA and post-hoc Dunnett’s test; bottom: Student’s two-tailed t-test)
