Our knowledge of the circadian clock in plants has advanced
considerably in recent years and we now have a clearer view of the
biochemical processes making up its mechanism. Recent work provides
insight into the central role played by the circadian system in the
regulation of many aspects of metabolism. The multiple systems
involved in photoreception have been determined, leading to an
understanding of how light entrains the internal biological clock
to the natural cycle of day and night, and how this impacts on key
events in the plant lifecycle, such as the photoperiodic regulation
of flowering.
This book provides a contemporary overview of endogenous plant
rhythms for researchers and professionals in the plant sciences. It
will also serve as a valuable source of reference for the wider
circadian community.
