Plant circadian rhythms

CR McClung - The Plant Cell, 2006 - academic.oup.com
The earth rotates on its axis every 24 h, with the result that any position on the earth's
surface alternately faces toward or away from the sun—day and night. That the metabolism …

The Pseudo-Response Regulator Ppd-H1 Provides Adaptation to Photoperiod in Barley

A Turner, J Beales, S Faure, RP Dunford, DA Laurie - Science, 2005 - science.org
Plants commonly use photoperiod (day length) to control the timing of flowering during the
year, and variation in photoperiod response has been selected in many crops to provide …
