SMELL AND TASTE. "We showed that, though mysticetes possess functional olfactory bulbs, they had lost the D domain of the olfactory bulb during the Eocene Epoch. In addition, all modern whales have lost the functional sweet, umami and bitter taste receptors before the Odontoceti-Mysticeti split." https://lnkd.in/dcqHGKG View in LinkedIn

GENE OSCILLATORS. “Higher plant circadian rhythms arise from a gene network termed the circadian oscillator. This incorporates autoregulatory and interlocked transcription-translation feedback loops. The nature and interconnectivity of the network produces under constant environmental conditions 24 h cycles of transcription of genes encoding oscillator components.” https://lnkd.in/dAX4kdh View in LinkedIn

CIRCADIAN PHOTOSYNTHESIS. “A number of recent studies have demonstrated that the circadian clock is integrated very closely with photosynthesis and its metabolic products. We consider the coupling of the circadian oscillator with carbohydrate biochemistry and the connections between the nuclear-encoded circadian clock and processes within chloroplasts.” https://lnkd.in/dwMRFri View in LinkedIn

SYMBIONT. "Interactions with mycorrhizal fungi should be considered in studies on the rhythmic growth of trees, because this ecologically obligatory symbiosis of roots not only enhances the acquisition of soil nutrients and stimulates photosynthesis of trees, but also changes their allocation among plant parts." http://jxb.oxfordjournals.org/content/66/22/7113.full View in LinkedIn

GROWTH CYCLES. "The growth of many trees is not continuous, but is interrupted by episodic rest phases. Pedunculate oak (Quercus robur L.), a major forest tree species in European forests, displays rhythmic growth with successive growth/rest phases of fixed periods of 18–22 d under constant culture conditions, which reflects the endogenic character of this trait." http://jxb.oxfordjournals.org/content/66/22/7113.full View in LinkedIn

INTERNAL CLOCK OF TREES. "Endogenous rhythmic growth in oak trees is regulated by internal clocks rather than resource availability. The results indicate that rhythmic growth involves dramatic oscillations in plant metabolism and gene regulation between below- and above-ground parts. Ectomycorrhizal symbiosis may play a previously unsuspected role in smoothing these oscillations without modifying the rhythmic growth pattern." http://jxb.oxfordjournals.org/content/66/22/7113.full View in LinkedIn
