Rhythms in Plants [electronic resource] Phenomenology, Mechanisms, and Adaptive Significance / edited by Stefano Mancuso, Sergey Shabala.

Rhythmic behaviour is quintessential to life itself. Advances in plant molecular biology, micro/nanotechnology and applied mathematics provide new tools for understanding how environmental signals and internal clocks regulate rhythmic gene expression and development, and how these signals are transl...
