Timing is everything: exploring links between<br />

the circadian clock and hormone signalling<br />

The circadian clock modulates many aspects of plant growth and development.<br />

Hormone signaling similarly plays an essential and dynamic role in these<br />

processes. Using genomic and physiological approaches, we have found<br />

interactions between the circadian clock and stress and hormone signaling<br />

pathways. Follow-up studies on links between clock and auxin signaling revealed<br />

that plant sensitivity to auxin varies with the time of day and led to the<br />

identification of a molecular node acting between the clock and auxin pathways.<br />

These studies suggest that many aspects of plant physiology not previously<br />

thought to be under circadian control may show time-of-day-specific sensitivity,<br />

with likely important consequences for plant growth and environmental<br />
