چکیده
ARTICLE HISTORY Received 13 February 2017 Accepted 15 February 2017 ABSTRACT Circadian clock ensures coordination of rhythmic biological processes with environmental cycles. Correct matching of internal and external rhythmic cycles maximizes plant fitness and environmental adaptation capability and also ensures efficient energy consumption through circadian gating of a variety of physiological processes. Accumulating evidences support that circadian oscillator components extensively participate in circadian gating of output processes. Here, we provide remarkable examples illustrating molecular mechanisms underlying circadian gating of environmental sensitivity. In addition, bidirectional interactions between circadian oscillator and output pathways have been observed in abscisic acid (ABA)-related physiological processes, emphasizing the biological relevance of extensive crosstalk surrounding circadian clock in acute time-of-day responses.

MYB96 shapes the circadian gating of ABA signaling in Arabidopsis
Circadian clocks regulate the rhythms of biological activities with a period of approximately 24-hours and synchronize plant metabolism and physiology with the environmental cycles. The clock also gates responses to environmental stresses to maximize fitness advantages. Here we report that the MYB96 transcription factor is connected with the clock oscillator to shape the circadian gating of abs...

Despite our increasing knowledge on the transcriptional networks connecting abscisic acid (ABA) signalling with the circadian clock, the molecular nodes in which both pathways converge to translate the environmental information into a physiological response are not known. Here, we provide evidence of a feedback mechanism linking the circadian clock with plant responses to drought. A key clock c...

Dysfunctional clock signaling is observed in a variety of pathological conditions. Many members of the clock gene family are upregulated in tumor cells. Here, we explored the consequences of a commonly disrupted signaling pathway in head and neck cancer on the regulation of circadian clock genes. PTEN is a key molecular controller of the PI3K signaling, and loss of PTEN function is often observ...

Accumulating evidence indicates that ERK MAP kinase signaling plays an important role in the regulation of the circadian clock, especially in the clock-resetting mechanism in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) in mammals. Previous studies have also shown that ERK phosphorylation exhibits diurnal variation in the SCN. However, little is known about circadian regulation of ERK signaling in periphe...
