Abstract
Our previous work demonstrated that the Late Elongated Hypocotyl (LHY) gene plays a central role in the regulation of circadian rhythmicity in Arabidopsis. Recent results indicate that the activity of the LHY protein is tightly is regulated in response to light signals, both at the transcriptional and at the post-transcriptional level. Therefore LHY may play a role in an input pathway for the phase-resetting of the circadian clock in response to light signals. This work aims to identify elements of the signal transduction pathway for the post-transcriptional regulation of LHY by light. The cognate genes will identify novel components of the circadian light input pathway.
