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/journals/plant-science/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.
