About the Cover
On the Cover: Circadian rhythms and the pigments that
organisms use to sense light to entrain these rhythms are very much in
the news. In 1751, Linnaeus described a garden consisting of flowers
that opened and closed at specific but different times of day. He drew
a "flower clock" that showed flowers of different species at the
specific times that they open and close. This month's cover is a
modern version of this design, made by two scientists-artists from
Chile, Maria Isabel Niemeyer and Maria Cecilia Fernandez. We are
pleased that they allowed Plant Physiology to feature
their artwork on the cover of the journal.
