Molecular Mechanisms Underlying the Arabidopsis Circadian Clock
A wide range of biological processes exhibit circadian rhythm, enabling plants to adapt to the environmental day-night cycle. This rhythm is generated by the so-called 'circadian clock'. Although a number of genetic approaches have identified >25 clock-associated genes involved in the Arabidopsis clock mechanism, the molecular functions of a large part of these genes are not known. Recent compr...
متن کاملMolecular Mechanisms Regulating Temperature Compensation of the Circadian Clock
An approximately 24-h biological timekeeping mechanism called the circadian clock is present in virtually all light-sensitive organisms from cyanobacteria to humans. The clock system regulates our sleep-wake cycle, feeding-fasting, hormonal secretion, body temperature, and many other physiological functions. Signals from the master circadian oscillator entrain peripheral clocks using a variety ...
متن کاملMolecular Mechanisms in Mood Regulation Involving the Circadian Clock
The circadian system coordinates activities and functions in cells and tissues in order to optimize body functions in anticipation to daily changes in the environment. Disruption of the circadian system, due to irregular lifestyle such as rotating shift work, frequent travel across time-zones, or chronic stress, is correlated with several diseases such as obesity, cancer, and neurological disor...
متن کاملMolecular clock mechanisms and circadian rhythms intrinsic to the heart.
Circadian rhythms are the external expression of an internal clock mechanism that measures daily time.1 Periodic environmental cues entrain or set the circadian clocks. The daily light-dark cycle represents the most dominant and potent entraining stimulus in mammals. An entrained clock coordinates physiological events to the 24hour day. Normally, cardiovascular or hemodynamic parameters, such a...
متن کاملTemperature Entrainment of the Arabidopsis Circadian Clock
Most eukaryotic organisms as well as some prokaryotes (cyanobacteria) have an endogenous circadian clock that keeps track of the earth’s 24-h day/night cycle and regulates the activity of numerous metabolic pathways. The existence of the circadian clock as an endogenous feature of organisms and not merely a response to the presence or absence of sunlight was recognized in plants as early as the...
