Abstract
The circadian clock regulates a significant proportion of the genome in plants.
- Clock components and regulatory mechanisms influence rhythmic metabolic and physiological activities in plants.
- Transcriptional/translational feedback loops are central to the circadian clock's function.
- Recent studies show that clock protein complex formation affects plant growth regulation.
- Alternative splicing has been identified as a new regulatory mechanism for circadian clock function.
- Key properties like temperature compensation provide new insights for research on plant circadian rhythms.
- Connections between the circadian clock and metabolism, hormone signaling, and stress responses add complexity to plant growth regulation.
