Effects of three light–dark cycles on circadian rhythm-related genes and photosynthetic parameters in carrot

Key Points

• Carrot photosynthesis parameters vary with different light-dark cycles, affecting overall growth.
• The study found significant gene expression changes in circadian rhythm-related genes across the cycles.
• Observational analysis of three light-dark cycles helped connect light exposure to gene regulation and photosynthesis.
• These findings may enable optimized growth conditions for carrots through tailored light management.
