Abstract
expression. These findings demonstrate that the photosensory-signaling pathway integrates with circadian oscillators to orchestrate clock gene expression. This mechanism might form the molecular basis of the regulation of the clock system by light in response to daily changes in the light environment, thus increasing plant fitness.
