Hey, want toswap some

pollen?

Page 7: Action spectrum of photosynthesis Fig 39.3 Fig 39.12 Seedling germination may depend on light.

I don’t haveany flowers.

Page 8: Action spectrum of photosynthesis Fig 39.3 Fig 39.12 Seedling germination may depend on light.

I guess I willhave to find

another plant.

Page 9: Action spectrum of photosynthesis Fig 39.3 Fig 39.12 Seedling germination may depend on light.

I hate whenthat happens.

You give reallygood pollen.

Plants use day length to synchronize flowering

Page 11: Action spectrum of photosynthesis Fig 39.3 Fig 39.12 Seedling germination may depend on light.

The critical period is actually night length

Phytochrome regulates flowering time

Plants use night length to determine the season.

What about daily time... the circadian clock

Circadian Rhythms: daily patterns set by light(northern flying squirrel)

Phytochrome sets the circadian clock

The molecular identity of the circadian clock is unknown

Page 18: Action spectrum of photosynthesis Fig 39.3 Fig 39.12 Seedling germination may depend on light.

CCA1 is a transcription factor that regulates some photosynthetic genes.

Overexpression of CCA1 in transgenic Arabidopsis plants abolished the circadian rhythms of several genes with dramatically different phases.

Plants were created that lack a functional CCA1 gene

Page 21: Action spectrum of photosynthesis Fig 39.3 Fig 39.12 Seedling germination may depend on light.

With no CCA1 protein, phytochrome induction of Lhcb RNA is reduced to 60% of the normal level.

Plants overexpressing CCA1 had delayed flowering. Furthermore, leaf movement rhythms were abolished

CCA1 is part of the oscillator, but it is not THE oscillator/clock.
