Plant Have Alarm Clock: Arabidopsis Uses Circadian Rhythm to Survive

According to a recent report, plants have a metabolic signal that changes their circadian clock in the evening to ensure they have enough energy to survive the night.

Scientists discovered that the arabidopsis flower, which belongs to the mustard family, has an inbuilt biological time-keeper who helps survive the night.

Circadian rhythms are 24-hour loops that operate in the background to carry out vital tasks and processes as part of the body's internal clock. The sleep-wake cycle is one of the most significant and well-known circadian rhythms.

Circadian rhythms are synchronized with a central clock in the brain and obey various structures in the body. Circadian rhythms are related to the day-night cycle because this master clock is specifically affected by environmental cues, especially light.
