Abstract
This project is aimed at establishing the nature of the oscillator that regulates PEPc kinase and CAM. In particular, it will determine whether it is the same as the oscillator that controls cab. It will also determine whether the expression of PEPc kinase is connected directly to the oscillator or whether it is controlled more indirectly by a metabolite such as malate which fluctuates throughout the CAM cycle. If the latter is correct, the steps involved in making the connection will be defined. Finally, mutants will be isolated which will reveal new components of the machinery of both the circadian clock and the CAM pathway.
