Article Synopsis
- Most research in plant chronobiology has been conducted in labs, which don't accurately simulate natural conditions, leading to inaccurate findings on plant rhythms.
- A study on sugarcane showed that older plants (9 months) have delayed metabolic and genetic rhythms compared to younger plants (4 months) because of shading effects.
- Results indicated that environmental factors, like self-shading from neighboring plants, impact circadian rhythms, which could influence significant agricultural traits like flowering and plant growth.
