#SCPH28 | Zoology
  1. CONSTANS protein is degraded in the dark, but accumulates in the leaves as the days get longer.
  2. CONSTANS protein is degraded in the light, and so accumulates in the leaves as the days get shorter.
  3. Peak expression of CONSTANS occurs at mid-morning.
  4. The CONSTANS gene regulates the circadian clock.
