Plants Use a Molecular Clock to Predict When They’ll Be Infected

Plants are able to predict when infections are more likely to occur and regulate their immune response accordingly by using their molecular clock, new research has found. Led by the University of Warwick, the researchers discovered that a plant’s molecular clock is connected to its immune system to increase levels of resistance to infection at dawn ...
