Research Abstract |
The biological clock in plants controls important processes such as photosynthesis on a daily basis. Although its mechanism has been extensively studied in the model dicot Arabidopsis, the diversity of the plant clocks has been a complete mystery because the clock mechanisms in other species have not been elucidated. We have shown, by studying the clocks in bryophytes, basal group of plants, that the plant clocks have evolved subsidiary mechanisms specific to each group while they share the basic core machinery.
