Cover Story: Plants rely on light as both an energy source and cue, yet metabolism has also emerged as an important entrainer of circadian rhythms. The circadian clock aligns chloroplast and mitochondrial activities with day–night cycles, while organelle-derived signals such as sugars and reactive oxygen species provide feedback to adjust the clock’s pace. This reciprocal regulation ensures efficient energy use, growth, and resilience. Although the extensive evidence reviewed in this manuscript supports the tight connections between organelle metabolism and the circadian clock, the underlying mechanisms remain unresolved, offering new avenues to explore and the possibility to enhance crop productivity and resilience under changing environments. View this paper
