Abstract excerpt
Time measurement and light detection are inextricably linked. Cryptochromes, the blue-light photoreceptors shared between plants and animals, are critical for circadian rhythms in flies and mice [1-3]. WC-1, a putative blue-light photoreceptor, is also essential for the maintenance of circadian rhythms in Neurospora [4]. In contrast, we report here that in Arabidopsis thaliana the double mutant lacking the...
