Adjustment of the Arabidopsis circadian oscillator by sugar signalling dictates the regulation of starch metabolism

Abstract Arabidopsis plants store part of the carbon fixed by photosynthesis as starch to sustain growth at night. Two competing hypotheses have been proposed to explain this diel starch turnover based on either the measurement of starch abundance with respect to circadian time, or the sensing of su...
