News From the Field Systems Biology Approach Identifies Nutrient Regulation of Biological Clock in Plants
March 20, 2008
|
Using a systems biological analysis of genome-scale data from the model plant Arabidopsis, an international team of researchers identified that the master gene controlling the biological clock is sensitive to nutrient status. The study will appear in the latest issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
