The role of plant circadian rhythms in agriculture

Professor Ant Dodd's research group here at the John Innes Centre study the circadian rhythms of plants and microbes. Circadian rhythms are the internal 24 hour daily cycles that enable organisms to know the time of day 🕒

Hear from Ant to learn more about how these rhythms can influence agriculture, covering two examples :
🚜How the effectiveness of herbicides depends on the time of application
💧How circadian rhythms influence water use efficiency
