Abstract: We show that the calcium sensor, CML39, is important in various developmental processes from seeds to mature plants. This study bridges previous work on CML39 as a stress-induced gene and highlights the importance of calcium signalling in plant development. In addition to the evolutionarily-conserved Ca

Abstract: Circadian clocks are endogenous timing mechanisms that allow an organism to adapt cellular processes in anticipation of predictable changes in the environment. Luciferase reporters are well utilized as an effective, nondestructive method to measure circadian rhythms of promoter activity in Arabidopsis. Obtaining stable transgenic reporter lines can be laborious. Here, we report a protocol for Agrobacterium-mediated seedling transformation tailored for plant circadian studies. We show that period estimates generated from wild-type and clock-mutant seedlings transformed with circadian luciferase reporters are similar to rhythms obtained from equivalent stable transgenic seedlings. These experiments demonstrate the versatility and robustness of the protocol for testing new constructs or quickly assessing circadian effects in any genotype of interest.

Abstract: The rotation of the earth generates dramatic daily and seasonal variation in the terrestrial environment. Plants, like other organisms, have evolved an endogenous biological oscillator to predict these daily changes in light and temperature and adjust to shifting seasonal conditions. This system must be robust to unexpected environmental challenges but can also assist plants to adjust physiology accordingly. Key features of the circadian system that contribute to achieve these are the process of entrainment, by which external cues adjust the state of the oscillator, and gating, by which the sensitivity to a stimulus is modified according to the time of day. In this way, the circadian clock is a dynamic hub which integrates physiology, metabolism, and growth in the context of a plant's current environment. We provide a comprehensive summary of the molecular composition of the core oscillator in Arabidopsis and the mechanisms of entrainment and gating. In particular, we focus on phytohormone signalling, photosynthetic metabolism, and defence responses as ex les of core plant responses to environment that are integrated within the circadian system.
