About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.frontiersin.org\/articles\/10.3389\/fgene.2019.01239\/full\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">20 genes control the circadian rhythm<\/a> in plants. These genes switch each other on and off in a complicated circuit, generating a 24-hour rhythm. <\/p>\n\n<p>This control circuit also activates other genes in the plant genome. Some genes are activated at dawn, followed by genes required later in the morning, but switched off by the afternoon. For example, genes associated with photosynthesis are typically activated in the morning to make the most of the daylight, while genes associated with growth and development are normally active at night. <\/p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC161679\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lab experiments demonstrate<\/a> that if any of these circadian control genes are mutated (which means their genetic sequence is altered so that they no longer function properly) then the plant\u2019s clock may speed up to give a shorter rhythm, slow down to give a long cycle, or stop functioning altogether. <\/p>\n\n<hr>\n\n<figure class=\"align-right \">\n            <img  decoding=\"async\"  alt=\"\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  class=\" pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"(min-width: 1466px) 754px, (max-width: 599px) 100vw, (min-width: 600px) 600px, 237px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/images.theconversation.com\/files\/513999\/original\/file-20230307-18-3frmra.gif?ixlib=rb-1.1.0&amp;q=45&amp;auto=format&amp;w=237&amp;fit=clip\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/images.theconversation.com\/files\/513999\/original\/file-20230307-18-3frmra.gif?ixlib=rb-1.1.0&amp;q=45&amp;auto=format&amp;w=600&amp;h=600&amp;fit=crop&amp;dpr=1 600w, https:\/\/images.theconversation.com\/files\/513999\/original\/file-20230307-18-3frmra.gif?ixlib=rb-1.1.0&amp;q=30&amp;auto=format&amp;w=600&amp;h=600&amp;fit=crop&amp;dpr=2 1200w, https:\/\/images.theconversation.com\/files\/513999\/original\/file-20230307-18-3frmra.gif?ixlib=rb-1.1.0&amp;q=15&amp;auto=format&amp;w=600&amp;h=600&amp;fit=crop&amp;dpr=3 1800w, https:\/\/images.theconversation.com\/files\/513999\/original\/file-20230307-18-3frmra.gif?ixlib=rb-1.1.0&amp;q=45&amp;auto=format&amp;w=754&amp;h=754&amp;fit=crop&amp;dpr=1 754w, https:\/\/images.theconversation.com\/files\/513999\/original\/file-20230307-18-3frmra.gif?ixlib=rb-1.1.0&amp;q=30&amp;auto=format&amp;w=754&amp;h=754&amp;fit=crop&amp;dpr=2 1508w, https:\/\/images.theconversation.com\/files\/513999\/original\/file-20230307-18-3frmra.gif?ixlib=rb-1.1.0&amp;q=15&amp;auto=format&amp;w=754&amp;h=754&amp;fit=crop&amp;dpr=3 2262w\" >\n            <figcaption>\n              <span class=\"caption\"><\/span>\n              \n            <\/figcaption>\n          <\/figure>\n\n<p><em>Many people think of plants as nice-looking greens.

It controls opening and closing of the stomata pores on the underside of a leaf, gas exchange in photosynthesis, shoot and root growth, seasonal flowering and \u201cchemical warfare\u201d between plants and the animals that eat them.

Since many plants have similar clocks, we can apply lab findings to crop species.<\/p>\n\n<p>Several studies have demonstrated that natural alterations in clock genes have been associated with farming breakthroughs. For example, tomatoes were originally farmed in central America where day lengths don\u2019t change much through the year. As people started growing the domesticated tomato <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/ng.3476\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in more northerly latitudes<\/a>, they inadvertently selected a variety with a natural mutation which resulted in a slower clock.
