In this time-lapse movie, circadian expression of the light-emiting firefly enzyme luciferase is visualized from seedlings of the plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Expression of the gene that codes for luciferase is driven by the regulatory elements of the CCA1 gene, which encodes part of the plant clock machinery.
