Plants have evolved numerous molecular strategies to cope with perturbations in
environmental temperature, and to adjust growth and physiology to limit the negative effects …

Circadian regulation has a pervasive influence upon plant development, physiology and
metabolism, impacting upon components of fitness and traits of agricultural importance …

Global climatic change increasingly threatens plant adaptation and crop yields. By
synchronizing internal biological processes, including photosynthesis, metabolism, and …

Abstract Nearly 60–80% of intron-containing plant genes undergo alternative splicing in
response to either stress or plant developmental cues. RNA splicing is performed by a large …

Increasing temperatures impact plant biochemistry, but the effects can be highly variable.
Both external and internal factors modulate how plants respond to rising temperatures. One …

Alternative splicing (AS) is a gene regulatory mechanism modulating gene expression in
multiple ways. AS is prevalent in all eukaryotes including plants. AS generates two or more …

The circadian clock is an internal time-keeping mechanism that synchronizes the
physiological adaptation of an organism to its surroundings based on day and night …

Circadian clocks improve plant fitness in a rhythmic environment. As each cell has its own
circadian clock, we hypothesized that sets of cells with different functions would have distinct …

Sugarcane (Saccharum spp.), a C 4 grass, has a peculiar feature: it accumulates, gradient-
wise, large amounts of carbon (C) as sucrose in its culms through a complex pathway. Apart …

Most research in plant chronobiology has been done in laboratory conditions. However,
laboratories usually fail to mimic natural conditions and their slight fluctuations, highlighting …
