Extremes of temperatures, drought and salinity cause widespread crop losses throughout
the world and impose severe limitations on the amount of land that can be used for …

This review examines the connections between circadian and metabolic rhythms. Examples
from a wide variety of well-studied organisms are used to illustrate some of the genetic and …

The ability to interpret daily and seasonal alterations in light and temperature signals is
essential for plant survival. This is particularly important during seedling establishment when …

The core mechanism of the circadian oscillators described to date rely on transcriptional
negative feedback loops with a delay between the negative and the positive components [1 …

Circadian rhythms provide organisms with an adaptive advantage, allowing them to regulate
physiological and developmental events so that they occur at the most appropriate time of …

Our computational model of the circadian clock comprised the feedback loop between LATE
ELONGATED HYPOCOTYL (LHY), CIRCADIAN CLOCK ASSOCIATED 1 (CCA1) and …

Environmental time cues, such as photocycles (light/dark) and thermocycles (warm/cold),
synchronize (entrain) endogenous biological clocks to local time. Although much is known …

Plants monitor the ambient light conditions using several informational photoreceptors,
including red/far-red light absorbing phytochrome. Phytochrome is widely believed to …

In Arabidopsis thaliana, a number of clock-associated protein components have been
identified. Among them, CCA1 (CIRCADIAN CLOCK-ASSOCIATED 1)/LHY (LATE …

Seasonal reproduction in many organisms requires detection of day length. This is achieved
by integrating information on the light environment with an internal photoperiodic time …
