Certain retinal ganglia project directly to the suprachiasmatic nucleus, which regulates this phenomenon, and it is also influenced by melatonin secretions from the pineal gland.
In plants, this phenomenon is usually studied using a luciferase reporter assay, and it is hypothesized that auxin sensitivity is regulated by this phenomenon. A plot of the phase shift and the time of stimulus is useful in understanding this phenomenon. Certain retinal ganglia project directly to the suprachiasmatic nucleus, which regulates this phenomenon, and it is also influenced by melatonin secretions from the pineal gland. Light is thought to be the major environmental cue triggering it. For 10 points, identify these rhythms that regulate behavior and physiology such as sleep patterns.
In plants, this phenomenon is usually studied using a luciferase reporter assay, and it is hypothesized that auxin sensitivity is regulated by this phenomenon.
