A morning biological clock controls far-red light response in Arabidopsis

Updated

Abstract

Essence

A circadian Morning Complex represses far-red light signaling genes at dawn in Arabidopsis.

Evidence

This plant molecular genetics study used Arabidopsis clock regulator interactions, promoter binding, gene repression, and mutant far-red light sensitivity to link TIC, CCA1, and LHY to phyA signaling control.

Caveat

The results are specific to Arabidopsis and dawn-associated regulatory mechanisms, and the abstract does not quantify downstream plant fitness effects.
