“…Photoperiod stress is a relatively new form of abiotic stress and not much is known about similarities with other stresses. We therefore compared the transcriptomic profile of plants in response to photoperiod stress with those in response to other biotic ( Truman et al, 2007 ; Winkelmüller et al, 2021 ) and abiotic stresses, including a shift to blue light (BL), drought stress, heat stress, cold stress, salt stress, ozone treatment, fluctuating light and high light stress ( Lee et al, 2005 ; Tosti et al, 2006 ; Kleine et al, 2007 ; Truman et al, 2007 ; Huang et al, 2008 , 2019 ; Larkindale and Vierling, 2008 ; Ding et al, 2014 ; Schneider et al, 2019 ; Figure 5 and Supplementary Data 7 ). In addition, we compared our dataset with the transcriptomic profile of circadian clock-regulated genes ( Covington et al, 2008 ) as a previous study found a link between photoperiod stress and the circadian clock ( Nitschke et al, 2016 ).…”
