How CONSTANS gene and its encoded protein involved in translating day length into a signal that converts a vegetative shoot meristem into a floral meristem?

#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.

Corn-steep liquor contains 2.5 % invert sugars and 50% water; the rest can be considered solids. Beet molasses containing 50% sucrose, 1% invert sugars, 18% water and the remainder solids, is mixed with corn-steep liquor in a mixing tank. Water is added to produce a diluted sugar mixture containing 2% (w/w) invert sugars. 125 kg corn-steep liquor and 45 kg molasses are fed into the tank.
