Photosynthetic organisms are totally dependent upon sunlight for their energy Adaptation to the day/night cy-cle must have been of great advantage to competition for life. Plants have developed the endogenous clock with a period of about 24 hours. This circadian clock not only generates the daily rhythmic phenomena but also works to measure the daylight length for the seasonal information. The latter mechanism called photoperiodism, affects tim-ing of life cycle like flower development in many plant species. Among photosynthetic organisms, a cyanobacte-rium, Synechococcus sp. PCC7942, and a higher plant, Arabidopsis thaliana, are best analyzed for molecular mecha-nisms of the clockwork. The kai genes in the Synechococcus are shown to be essential for the oscillation of the cir-cadian rhythm. The transcription/translation-based feedback oscillator of the kai genes is proposed as a clock model. Molecular studies on the Arabidopsis circadian clock have revealed a lot of genes involved in signaling path-ways from light receptors to the oscillator and then to the downstream gene expression.
