Plant Physiology Webinar: October 2022 Focus Issue on Circadian Rhythms (Part 1)

Circadian rhythms are ubiquitous across eukaryotes, but are perhaps of particular importance to plants. In all model organisms studied to date, these roughly 24-hour rhythms in physiology, growth, or development are generated by cell-autonomous oscillators or clocks. However, the complexity of the circadian clock network and the scope of processes influenced by circadian rhythms in plants outstrip those observed in other eukaryotes, highlighting the importance of circadian rhythms for the optimization of plant growth in a constantly fluctuating environment. Indeed, work over the past decade has implicated selection at clock loci during crop domestication and during natural and artificial selection for growth at diverse latitudes.
Organized by Focus Issue editors Stacey Harmer, Alex Webb, and Christian Fankhauser, this webinar features speakers Lei Wang, Katherine Greenham, and Glen Uhrig sharing their findings from their work appearing in this Focus Issue. It’s hosted by Stacey Harmer and moderated by Eva Herrero Serrano.
