Abstract: | Background The endogenous circadian clock allows the organism to synchronize processes both to daily and seasonal changes. In plants,
many metabolic processes such as photosynthesis, as well as photoperiodic responses, are under the control of a circadian
clock. Comparative studies with the moss Physcomitrella patens provide the opportunity to study many aspects of land plant evolution. Here we present a comparative overview of clock-associated
components and the circadian network in the moss P. patens. |
