BACKGROUND Global population growth, increased meat consumption, and concerns
about sustainability of resources are driving forces for future agriculture to produce higher …

Endogenous circadian clock integrates cyclic signals of environment and daily and seasonal
behaviors of organisms to achieve spatiotemporal synchronization, which greatly improves …

The plant circadian clock coordinates the responses to multiple and often simultaneous
environmental challenges that the sessile plant cannot avoid. These responses must be …

Circadian clocks are endogenous timers that enable plants to synchronize biological
processes with daily and seasonal environmental conditions in order to allocate resources …

Like most organisms, plants have endogenous biological clocks that coordinate internal
events with the external environment. We used high-density oligonucleotide microarrays to …

A major challenge for biology is to extend our understanding of molecular regulation from
the simplified conditions of the laboratory to ecologically relevant environments. Tractable …

Circadian clocks are believed to confer an advantage to plants, but the nature of that
advantage has been unknown. We show that a substantial photosynthetic advantage is …

Background As nonmotile organisms, plants must rapidly adapt to ever-changing
environmental conditions, including those caused by daily light/dark cycles. One important …

The circadian oscillator is a complex network of interconnected feedback loops that
regulates a wide range of physiological processes. Indeed, variation in clock genes has …

Plants have endogenous biological clocks that allow organisms to anticipate and prepare for
daily and seasonal environmental changes and increase their fitness in changing …
