Circadian Clock and Photoperiodic Flowering in Arabidopsis: CONSTANS Is a Hub for Signal
Integration | Plant Physiology | Oxford Academic Skip to Main Content Advertisement Oxford …

As scientists, we are at least as excited about the open questions—the things we do not
know—as the discoveries. Here, we asked 15 experts to describe the most compelling open …

Photoperiodic plants perceive changes in day length as seasonal cues to orchestrate their
vegetative and reproductive growth. Although it is known that the floral transition of …

In short photoperiods, plants accumulate starch more rapidly in the light and degrade it more
slowly at night, ensuring that their starch reserves last until dawn. To investigate the …

Transcriptional feedback loops are key to circadian clock function in many organisms.
Current models of the Arabidopsis circadian network consist of several coupled feedback …

Microbial community circadian rhythms have a broad influence on host health and even
though light-induced environmental fluctuations could regulate microbial communities, the …

Background Recent studies demonstrated that microbiota inhabiting the plant rhizosphere
exhibit diel changes in abundance. To investigate the impact of plant circadian rhythms on …

Carbohydrates are the primary energy source for plant development. Plants synthesize
sucrose in source organs and transport them to sink organs during plant growth. This …

Leaf senescence is a natural age-dependent process that is induced prematurely by various
environmental stresses. Typical alterations during leaf senescence include breakdown of …

Metabolism is the system layer that determines growth by the rate of matter uptake and
conversion into biomass. The scaffold of enzymatic reaction rates drives the metabolic …
