Most processes within organisms, and most interactions between organisms and their
environment, have distinct time profiles. The temporal coordination of such processes is …

The plant circadian clock coordinates developmental, physiological, and metabolic
processes with diel changes in light and temperature throughout the year. The balance …

Cultivated potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.), domesticated from wild Solanum species
native to the Andes of southern Peru, possess a diverse gene pool representing more than …

Background Microbial inhabitants of soils are important to ecosystem and planetary
functions, yet there are large gaps in our knowledge of their diversity and ecology. The …

Plants alter chemical and physical properties of soil, and thereby influence rhizosphere
microbial community structure. The structure of microbial communities may in turn affect …

In plants, the circadian system controls a plethora of processes, many with agronomic
importance, such as photosynthesis, photoprotection, stomatal opening, and photoperiodic …

Circadian regulation is an endogenous self-sustaining mechanism that drives temporal
gene expression and, amongst others, affects the diurnal patterns of photosynthesis (A) and …

A growing body of evidence demonstrates a significant relationship between cellular redox
state and circadian rhythms. Each day these two vital components of plant biology influence …

Establishing the temperature dependence of respiration is critical for accurate predictions of
the global carbon cycle under climate change. Diurnal temperature fluctuations, or changes …

Background Molecular clocks drive oscillations in leaf photosynthesis, stomatal
conductance, and other cell and leaf-level processes over∼ 24 h under controlled …
