Quantitative analysis of regulatory flexibility under changing environmental conditions [PDF]
, 2010 The circadian clock controls 24-h rhythms in many biological processes, allowing appropriate timing of biological rhythms relative to dawn and dusk. Known clock circuits include multiple, interlocked feedback loops.

Clock is important for food and circadian regulation of macronutrient absorption in mice
Journal of Lipid Research, 2009 Clock genes respond to external stimuli and exhibit circadian rhythms. This study investigated the expression of clock genes in the small intestine and their contribution in the regulation of nutrient absorption by enterocytes.

Diel pattern of circadian clock and storage protein gene expression in leaves and during seed filling in cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) [PDF]
, 2018 Background Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) is an important source of protein supply for animal and human nutrition. The major storage globulins VICILIN and LEGUMIN (LEG) are synthesized from several genes including LEGA, LEGB, LEGJ and CVC (CONVICILIN).

Postnatal ontogenesis of clock genes in mouse suprachiasmatic nucleus and heart
Lipids in Health and Disease, 2010 Background The master clock within the hypothalamic suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) synchronizing clocks in peripheral tissues is entrained by the environmental condition, such as the light-dark (LD) cycle. The mechanisms of circadian clockwork are similar

Nutrients, Clock Genes, and Chrononutrition [PDF]
Current Nutrition Reports, 2014 Circadian clocks that comprise clock genes exist throughout the body and control daily physiological events. The central clock that dominates activity rhythms is entrained by light/dark cycles, whereas peripheral clocks regulating local metabolic rhythms are determined by feeding/fasting cycles. Nutrients reset peripheral circadian clocks and the local

Rodent models for the analysis of tissue clock function in metabolic rhythms research [PDF]
, 2017 The circadian timing system consists on a distributed network of cellular clocks that together coordinate 24-h rhythms of physiology and behavior. Clock function and metabolism are tightly coupled, from the cellular to the organismal level.

FLOWERING LOCUS C -dependent and -independent regulation of the circadian clock by the autonomous and vernalization pathways [PDF]
, 2006 Background The circadian system drives pervasive biological rhythms in plants. Circadian clocks integrate endogenous timing information with environmental signals, in order to match rhythmic outputs to the local day/night cycle.

Diurnal oscillations of soybean circadian clock and drought responsive genes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Rhythms produced by the endogenous circadian clock play a critical role in allowing plants to respond and adapt to the environment. While there is a well-established regulatory link between the circadian clock and responses to abiotic stress in model ...
