Abstract. Most cultivated lettuce varieties have 27-hour circadian clocks resulting from domestication-driven selection for delayed bolting yet are grown u
We have been cooking up this story for a while and we are excited to finally be able to share!
Read on if you're interested in whole plant regeneration WITHOUT the application of hormones!

How does wheat tell time?🌾🕰️
New model by @abhibiotech.bsky.social with @alexwebblab.bsky.social & James Locke reveals the flexibility of plant circadian clocks. Unlike Arabidopsis, wheat ELF3 peaks at dawn, model suggests TOC1 repression drives this shift

I think this is a very interesting paper that adds significant understanding in plant water relations.
A break from science and teaching. The wonderful Raye. I haven't been this excited for an album release since I was about 15. open.spotify.com/album/3ZN01x...
