CLOCK GENE. "One of the genes whose expression is under control of the circadian clock is CO, which is a key regulator of the photoperiodic pathway. The rhythmic expression of CO cycles such that low levels of transcripts are observed during the day. Expression begins to increase approximately 8 h after dawn, followed by a broad peak between 12 and 16 h after dawn." https://lnkd.in/d_f7kfY View in LinkedIn

PATHWAY CROSSROADS. "Expression of the floral-integrator genes is actively repressed by the floral inhibitor FLOWERING LOCUS C (FLC). Consequently flowering is prevented until this repression is lifted by the floral-enabling pathways, thus allowing activation of the floral-pathway integrators by the floral-promotion pathways." https://lnkd.in/d_f7kfY View in LinkedIn

PHYTOCHROMES. "Different phytochromes have different roles in controlling plant development and this is the case for the photoperiodic-perception process." https://lnkd.in/d_f7kfY View in LinkedIn

PATHWAY INTEGRATORS. "All the different flowering pathways converge on a small group of genes called floral-pathway integrators. These genes are FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT), LEAFY (LFY) and SUPPRESSOR OF OVEREXPRESSION OF CONSTANS 1 (SOC1), and they are responsible for the activation of the floral meristem identity genes that direct floral organ formation." https://lnkd.in/d_f7kfY View in LinkedIn

SIGNAL DISRUPTION. "Mutants or transgenic plants in which chromophore biosynthesis is impaired will be incapacitated with regard to all of the functional phytochromes. Such plants show altered daylength responses, usually flowering earlier than wild type." https://lnkd.in/d_f7kfY View in LinkedIn

PAIRED MATINGS. "A computer carefully scrutinized every member of large and diverse set of candidates. Each was evaluated dispassionately, and assigned a numeric score according to a strict set of criteria. This machine’s task was to single out the best possible pairings from the group, then force the selected couples to mate so that it might extract the resulting offspring and repeat the process with the following generation." https://lnkd.in/e5p4fXs View in LinkedIn

EVOLVING BUCKETS OF BOLTS. "At the same time researchers have been working on the development of evolvable hardware, and new integrated circuits that are able to adapt their hardware autonomously and in real time in a changing environment." https://lnkd.in/datvJuv View in LinkedIn

ADAPTABLE MACHINES. "Great interest has been shown in the application of the principles of artificial life to physically embedded systems such as mobile robots, computer networks, home devices able continuously and autonomously to adapt their behavior to changes of the environments." https://lnkd.in/datvJuv View in LinkedIn

EVOLVABLE HARDWARE. "Currently, there are serious research efforts to build robots with evolvable hardware." https://lnkd.in/da2m8CW View in LinkedIn

SELF-ASSEMBLY. "Two researchers at the University of Texas Dallas, Vishwath Mohan and Kevin Hamlen, demonstrated a program earlier this month that could help the makers of malware create viruses that assemble themselves out of all the bits and pieces of code in their victim computers." https://lnkd.in/dcUxjca View in LinkedIn
