Interplays of Plant Circadian Clock and Abiotic Stress Response Networks

Agnieszka Kiełbowicz-Matuk and Jagoda Czarnecka

Abstract

Immotile organisms like plants have to deal with variable environmental stresses that trigger rhythmic biotic and abiotic stresses with the 24-h day–night cycle. Therefore, they have evolved internal mechanisms known as a circadian clock that modulates their sensitivity and response to various external stimuli, thus permitting them to screen all environmental transitions, in order to choose an appropriate at any given time. In this chapter, we focus on the interdependencies between the circadian clock components and the complex network of plant abiotic stress responses. There is increasing evidence that the ...
