The circadian clock participates in seasonal growth in Norway spruce (Picea abies) [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
The boreal forest ecosystems of the northern hemisphere are dominated by conifers, of which Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) H. Karst.) is one of the most common species. Due to its economic interest to the agroforestry industry, as well as its ecological significance, it is important to understand seasonal growth and biomass production in Norway spruce. Solid evidence that the circadian clock regulates growth in conifers has proved elusive, however, resulting in significant gaps in our knowledge of clock function in these trees. Here, we reassess the impact of the circadian clock on growth in Norway spruce. Using a combination of approaches monitoring the physiology of vegetative growth, transcriptomics and bioinformatics, we determined that the clock could be participating a decisive role in enabling growth, acting in specific developmental processes influenced by season and geographical location to guide bud burst and growth. Thus, evidences indicate that there is time for spruce.
