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 />
