Abstract excerpt
The endogenous circadian clock regulates many physiological processes related to plant survival and adaptability. GIGANTEA (GI), a clock-associated protein, contributes to the maintenance of circadian period length and amplitude, and also regulates flowering time and hypocotyl growth in response to day length. Similarly, EARLY FLOWERING 4 (ELF4), another clock regulator, also contributes to these processes....
