Protein function
Encodes a component of the circadian clock.
Phenotype
Single mutant: lwd1 single mutant does not display any flowering-time phenotype.
[Wu et al., 2008] Multiple mutant: lwd1;
lwd2 multiple mutant is early flowering under both SD and LD conditions.
[Wu et al., 2008] Remarks: LWD1 and LWD2 proteins show 90% amino acid identity.
[Wu et al., 2008] Function:Clock protein essential for the proper expression phase and period length of both the oscillator and output genes known to participate in photoperiod sensing. Required for the expression of APRR9, APRR7, and APRR5. Regulated by APRR9 and APRR7 at the transcriptional level, indicating the existence of a positive feedback loop within the circadian clock (PubMed:21357491). May function to delay the expression of the morning genes until dawn approaches.
