Abstract excerpt
The plant circadian clock generates rhythms with a period close to 24 h, and it controls a wide variety of physiological and developmental events. Among clock-controlled developmental events, the best characterized is the photoperiodic control of flowering time, which is mediated through the CONSTANS (CO)-FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) pathway in Arabidopsis thaliana. The clock also regulates the diurnal plant growth...
