Phytochrome
sets the
circadian
clock

The molecular identity of the circadian
clock is unknown

CCA1 is a transcription factor that regulates
some photosynthetic genes.

Overexpression of
CCA1 in transgenic
Arabidopsis plants
abolished the
circadian rhythms
of several genes
with dramatically
different phases.

Plants were created that lack a functional
CCA1 gene

With no CCA1 protein, phytochrome induction of
Lhcb RNA is reduced to 60% of the normal level.

Plants overexpressing
CCA1 had delayed
flowering.
Furthermore, leaf
movement rhythms
were abolished
Hey, want to
swap some
pollen?
I don’t have
any flowers.
I guess I will
have to find
another plant.
I hate when
that happens.
You give really
good pollen.
Plants use day length to synchronize flowering
CB 39.22
The critical period is actually night length

Phytochrome

Water moves from
the ground through
roots into the shoot
and out stomata in
the leaves.
What happened to this root?
