In short photoperiods, plants accumulate starch more rapidly in the light and degrade it
more slowly at night, ensuring that their starch reserves last until dawn. To investigate the …

P roteaceae species in south‐western A ustralia occur on phosphorus‐ ( P ) impoverished
soils. Their leaves contain very low P levels, but have relatively high rates of photosynthesis. …

Experiments were designed to compare the relationship between starch degradation and
the use of carbon for maintenance and growth in Arabidopsis in source‐limited and sink‐…

Photoperiod duration can be predicted from previous days, but irradiance fluctuates in an
unpredictable manner. To investigate how allocation to starch responds to changes in these …

Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) leaves synthesize starch faster in short days than in long
days, but the mechanism that adjusts the rate of starch synthesis to daylength is unknown. …

Diel starch turnover responds rapidly to changes in the light regime. We investigated if these
responses require changes in the temporal dynamics of the circadian clock. Arabidopsis (…

Plants accumulate reserves in the daytime to support growth at night. Circadian regulation
of diel reserve turnover was investigated by profiling starch, sugars, glucose 6‐phosphate, …

Central metabolism is a coordinated network that is regulated at multiple levels by resource
availability and by environmental and developmental cues. Its genetic architecture has been …

Many plants, including Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), accumulate starch in the daytime
and remobilize it to support maintenance and growth at night. Starch accumulation is …

Plants assimilate carbon in their photosynthetic tissues in the light. However, carbon is
required during the night and in nonphotosynthetic organs. It is therefore essential that plants …
