This project investigates how the circadian clock in plants regulates starch metabolism to optimize growth and prevent starvation at night. By studying the interactions between the clock and metabolic processes, it aims to enhance understanding of plant productivity and develop new models for plant systems biology.
Optimal plant growth requires the orchestration of carbon metabolism over the day-night cycle, to avoid periods of starvation at night.
Metabolism and growth at night are fueled by carbohydrates released by degradation of starch, synthesised from photosynthesis in the preceding day.
Starch synthesis and degradation are regulated such that starch reserves are almost but not quite exhausted at the end of the night, in both long and short nights.
We have recently found that this robust regulation i…
