On the move through time - a historical review of plant clock research
1RNA Biology and Molecular Physiology, Faculty of Biology, Bielefeld University, Bielefeld, Germany.
Abstract:
The circadian clock is an important regulator of growth and development that has evolved to help organisms to anticipate the predictably occurring events on the planet, such as light-dark transitions, and adapt growth and development to these. This review looks back in history on how knowledge about the endogenous biological clock has been acquired over the centuries, with a focus on discoveries in plants. Key findings at the physiological, genetic and molecular level are described and the role of the circadian clock in important molecular processes is reviewed.
