Circadian entrainment and gating in a natural plant population

The paper investigates how temperature cues affect circadian timing in a natural plant population under fluctuating conditions.

Nucleotide-driven KaiC dynamics coordinate the core properties of the cyanobacterial circadian clock

This study identifies ADP release as the rate-limiting step in the KaiC ATPase cycle and shows how the nucleotide cycle integrates core circadian clock properties in cyanobacteria.

Quantitative manipulation of the photoperiodic flowering by a small-molecule clock modulator

The paper shows how a small-molecule clock modulator can quantitatively alter the critical day length required for flowering in monocots.
