| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
From cyanobacteria to human, most organisms on the earth have the circadian clock. In this study, we investigated a molecular basis of the clock by using Chlamydomonas, a freshwater alga, as a model. We revealed molecular mechanisms of resetting of the algal clock by light, and common and different features of clocks between algae and land plants.
