DESCRIPTION:The circadian clock is a complex mechanism by which plants tel
 l the time\, and which is important for photosynthesis\, growth\, survival
  as well as competitive advantage. Recently\, we demonstrated that endogen
 ous sucrose derived from photosynthesis provides an input into the Arabido
 psis circadian clock through regulation of the core circadian clock gene P
 SEUDORESPONSE REGULATOR7 (PRR7). I am investigating the mechanisms by whic
 h sucrose inhibits the expression of PRR7. Using a reverse genetics approa
 ch I have identified a potential pathway by which sugar signals regulate t
 he activity of PRR7 and the speed of the circadian clock.
