The circadian clock in all organisms is so intimately linked to light reception that it appears as if evolution has simply wired a timer into the mechanism that processes photic information. Several recent studies have provided new insights into the role of light input pathways in the circadian system of Arabidopsis.
所有生物体中的生物钟都与光接收紧密相连，以至于看起来好像进化只是简单地将一个定时器接入了处理光信息的机制中。最近的几项研究为光输入途径在拟南芥生物钟系统中的作用提供了新的见解。
