Abstract Understanding the timely regulation of plant growth and phenology is crucial for assessing a terrestrial ecosystem’s productivity carbon budget. The circadian clock, system genetic oscillators, acts as ‘Master Ceremony’ during physiological processes. mechanism particularly elusive in trees despite its relevance. primary secondary tree growth, leaf senescence, bud set, burst timing were investigated 68 constructs transformed into Populus hybrids compared with untransformed or controls grown natural controlled conditions. results analyzed using generalized additive models ordered-factor-smooth interaction smoothers. This meta-analysis shows that several components are associated clock. Especially core clock-regulated genes affected both field Our highlight importance trials potential clock to generate improved characteristics sustainable silviculture (e.g., reprogrammed new photoperiodic regimes increased growth).
