Circadian Rhythms: daily patterns set by light (northern flying squirrel) CB 48.25
Phytochrome: a reversible receptor CB 39.20
Phytochrome sets the circadian clock http://www.mcdb.ucla.edu/Research/Tobin/research.html http://plantsinmotion.bio.indiana.edu/plantmotion/movements/leafmovements/clocks.html (oxalis) http://plantsinmotion.bio.indiana.edu/plantmotion/movements/tropism/tropisms.html (sunflower tracking)
The molecular identity of the circadian clock is unknown http://www.ou.edu/wanglab/Circadian.html
CCA1 is a transcription factor that regulates some photosynthetic genes. 25 28 31 34 37 40 43 46 49 52 55 57 http://www.mcdb.ucla.edu/Research/Tobin/research.html
Overexpression of CCA1 in transgenic Arabidopsis plants abolished the circadian rhythms of several genes with dramatically different phases. http://www.mcdb.ucla.edu/Research/Tobin/research.html
Plants were created that lack a functional CCA1 gene http://www.mcdb.ucla.edu/Research/Tobin/research.html
With no CCA1 protein, phytochrome induction of Lhcb RNA is reduced to 60% of the normal level. http://www.mcdb.ucla.edu/Research/Tobin/research.html
Plants overexpressing CCA1 had delayed flowering. Furthermore, leaf movement rhythms were abolished
I hate whenthat happens. You give reallygood pollen.
Phytochrome regulates flowering time CB 39.23
Hormonal regulation of flowering time Exposed to flower inducing photoperiod NOT exposed to flower inducing photoperiod CB 39.24
CB 36.13 Water moves from the ground through roots into the shoot and out stomata in the leaves.
What happened to this root? CB 39.28
Bonus #2 is due F 3/21 • For W Fraken-plants (CB concept 38.4)
