Study on Circadian Clock-Dependent Control of Growth and Development in Plants

植物昼夜节律钟产生的节律周期接近24 h，在自然光/暗周期下控制着生境中广泛的生理和发育振荡。在这项研究中，我们澄清了伪响应调节器（PRR）家族代表生物钟在自然栖息地中响应光/暗和热/冷循环时正确地携带当地时间所必需的元素，并参与控制植物生长和开花的光周期反应。

The plant circadian clock generates rhythms with a period close to 24 h, and it controls a wide range of physiological and developmental oscillations in habitats under natural light/dark cycles. In this study, we clarified that the Pseudo Response Regulator (PRR) family represent elements necessary for the circadian clock to entrain properly to local time in response to light/dark and hot/cold cycles in natural habitats and is involved in the control of photoperiodic response of plant growth as well as flowering.
