Circadian rhythms are regular oscillations of an organism's physiology with a period of approximately 24 h. In the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, circadian rhythms regulate a suite of physiological processes, including transcription, photosynthesis, growth, and flowering. The circadian clock and external rhythmic factors have extensive control of the underlying biochemistry and physiology. Therefore, it is critical to consider the time of day when performing gravitropism experiments, even if the circadian clock is not a focus of study. We describe the critical factors and methods to be considered and methods to investigate the possible circadian regulation of gravitropic responses.
