| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study is to understand molecular mechanisms of plant stress responses regulated by the circadian clock. We performed gene expression as well as phenotypic analyses around dawn in Arabidopsis thaliana, and found that the circadian clock is possible to repress light-dependent stressful condition after dawn. Furthermore, bidirectional signaling between the nucleus and chloroplasts for circadian regulation, and similar stress response mechanisms in photosynthetic microorganisms, have been also characterized.
