Time for circadian rhythms: plants get synchronized
Plants adjust their internal clocks to the time of day

Abstract
The circadian clock in plants regulates the rhythmic oscillation of not only protein coding genes but also introns, intergenic regions, and noncoding RNAs.
- Circadian rhythms in plants are influenced by light and temperature signals.
- The expression of various genetic elements, including noncoding RNAs, follows a rhythmic pattern linked to the circadian clock.
- Different oscillators exist in separate parts of the plant, suggesting complex regulation of circadian synchronization.
- These findings highlight the intricate mechanisms behind how plants adapt their physiological processes to daily and seasonal changes.
