| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
From cyanobacteria to human, most organisms on the earth have the circadian clock. However, clock genes, essential genes for the clock, are not conserved during evolution of organisms. In this study, we analyzed the three circadian clocks from cyanobacteria, green algae, higher plants, and revealed common and different features of these clocks. This outcome contributes to understanding the evolution of circadian clocks.
