The Arabidopsis circadian clock incorporates a cADPR-based feedback loop

Transcriptional feedback loops are a feature of circadian clocks in both animals and plants. We show that the plant circadian clock also incorporates the cytosolic signaling molecule cyclic adenosine diphosphate ribose (cADPR). cADPR modulates the …

Circadian Rhythms in Stomata: Physiological and Molecular Aspects

Stomata are the major route of gas exchange between the atmosphere and the leaf interior. The size of the stomatal pore is controlled by movements of the stomatal guard cells. The guard cells close the stomatal pore to conserve water during stress. …

Modulation of environmental responses of plants by circadian clocks

Circadian clocks are signalling networks that enhance an organism's relationship with the rhythmic environment. The plant circadian clock modulates a wide range of physiological and biochemical events, such as stomatal and organ movements, …
