I’m very pleased to share our latest work, led by the talented @cbuckley.bsky.social as part of his PhD. It’s our first attempt at studying #circadian rhythms in wheat with the help of some great collaborators @jesshyles.bsky.social @adaevo.bsky.social et al. #plantsci 🌾⏰ 1/7 doi.org/10.1111/nph....

A circadian transcriptional subnetwork and EARLY FLOWERING 3 control timing of senescence and grain nutrition in bread wheat

Circadian clocks control daily and seasonal timing of physiology and development. Because of their influence on photoperiodic flowering, variants in circadian clock genes have been selected for ph...

The time is ripe for chronoculture

A better understanding of circadian rhythms in crop plants can help improve agricultural production, say University of Melbourne experts
