Extended Data Fig. 9: Bode plot for the three modules CDF4 NOR, CDF NAND, WOX5-only.

The response of the motif with the different wirings can be observed in Bode plot. The plot is generated by applying an input signal in WOX5 of a specific period and recording the amplitude of the output signal (CDF4). The attenuation of a perturbation with a period of 24 h for the cFFL NOR motif (CDF4 NOR) is approximately twice that of the direct WOX5 attenuation (WOX5 only). Amp.(∞) means the amplitude of the output by constant input. The x-axis denotes the period of the input. The cFFL NOR motif shows the strongest attenuation in particular for input signals with larger periods (long wavelength signals). The parameters are the same as in Extended Data Fig. 8.
