Article Synopsis
- * The study reveals that two proteins, LHP1 and INO80, work with ethylene signaling to activate certain genes that are marked by both repressive and active histone modifications (bivalency).
- * When temperatures rise, ethylene signaling is activated via EIN2 and EIN3, enabling LHP1 and INO80 to regulate specific genes crucial for the plant's temperature response in Arabidopsis.
A genetically encoded splicing reporter allows naked-eye visualization of pre-mRNA splicing and requires no expensive equipment or substrate.

Phys also control gene expression in part by directly interacting with the bHLH class of transcription factors, PHYTOCHROME-INTERACTING FACTORS (PIFs), and inducing their rapid phosphorylation and degradation. Several kinases have been shown to phosphorylate PIFs and promote their degradation.

- Light serves as a key factor in plant growth and development, impacting processes like seed germination and seedling behavior, particularly through the action of PHYTOCHROME INTERACTING FACTORS (PIFs).
- PIFs, which are regulated by phytochromes that detect red and far-red light, undergo degradation that promotes changes in gene expression essential for photomorphogenesis.
- Recent studies have revealed that various modifications, such as phosphorylation and ubiquitination, influence PIFs, and their capability to alter chromatin states further exemplifies their role in regulating plant responses to light.
Glucosinolates (GSLs) are defensive secondary metabolites produced by Brassicaceae species in response to abiotic and biotic stresses. The biosynthesis of GSL compounds and the expression of GSL-related genes are highly modulated by endogenous signals (i.e.
