Conditional Circadian Dysfunction of the Arabidopsis early-flowering 3 Mutant

Abstract

Photoperiodic responses, such as the daylength-dependent control of reproductive development, are associated with a circadian biological clock. The photoperiod-insensitive early-flowering 3 ( elf3 ) mutant of Arabidopsis thaliana lacks rhythmicity in two distinct circadian-regulated processes. This defect was apparent only when plants were assayed under constant light conditions. elf3 mutants retain rhythmicity in constant dark and anticipate light/dark transitions under most light/dark regimes. The conditional arrhythmic phenotype suggests that the circadian pacemaker is intact in darkness in elf3 mutant plants, but the transduction of light signals to the circadian clock is impaired.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
