@ARTICLE{10.3389/fpls.2016.00261, AUTHOR={Tobin, Elaine M.}, TITLE={My Path from Chemistry to Phytochrome and Circadian Rhythms}, JOURNAL={Frontiers in Plant Science}, VOLUME={7}, YEAR={2016}, URL={https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpls.2016.00261}, DOI={10.3389/fpls.2016.00261}, ISSN={1664-462X}, ABSTRACT={I summarize my scientific journey from my first interest in science to my career investigating how plants use the phytochrome photoreceptor to regulate what genes they express. I then describe how this work led to an understanding of how circadian rhythms function in plants and to the discovery of CCA1, a component of the plant central oscillator.} }
