Mimetics’ analytics help to show that loss of yield in rice plants from warm nighttime temperatures results from changes induced in plant circadian patterns

Working in collaboration with Dr. Colleen Doherty’s lab at North Carolina State University, Mimetics researchers have shown for the first time that warm nighttime temperatures disturb the circadian patterns of gene expression in rice plants, leading to depressed yields. This effort involved a careful study of time series transcriptional data from the entire rice genome. […]
