Gearing Up the Clock of Hypocotyl Growth!

To anticipate daily changes imposed by Earth's rotation, organisms from all domains of life have evolved an endogenous 24-h timer with daily rhythmic functions: the circadian clock. In plants, the first organisms where circadian dynamics were observed, the circadian clock processes daylength information…
