Plants can sense temperature changes and adjust their growth accordingly. In Arabidopsis, high ambient temperatures stimulate stem elongation by activating a key thermoresponsive regulator, PHYTOCHROME INTERACTING FACTOR 4 (PIF4). Here, we show that warmth promotes the nighttime transcription of GI, which is necessary for the high temperature-induced transcription of TOC1.

The stability of eukaryotic genomes relies on the faithful transmission of DNA sequences and the maintenance of chromatin states through DNA replication. Plant TONSOKU (TSK) and its animal ortholog TONSOKU-like (TONSL) act as readers for newly synthesized histones and preserve DNA integrity via facilitating DNA repair at post-replicative chromatin. However, whether TSK/TONSL regulate the maintenance of chromatin states remains elusive.

Plants can sense temperature changes and adjust their development and morphology accordingly in a process called thermomorphogenesis. This phenotypic plasticity implies complex mechanisms regulating gene expression reprogramming in response to environmental alteration. Histone variants often associate with specific chromatin states; yet, how their deposition/eviction modulates transcriptional changes induced by environmental cues remains elusive.

Article Synopsis
  • The seed maturation stage is crucial for establishing seed vigor, which affects germination and post-embryonic development.
  • Loss of the histone variant H3.3 leads to significant issues in seed germination and development, even though it's not necessary for seed formation itself.
  • H3.3 helps in the regulation of gene transcription during germination by promoting chromatin accessibility at important regulatory regions of the genome.

Global warming poses a major threat to plant growth and crop production. In some plants, including Arabidopsis thaliana, elevated temperatures induce a series of morphological and developmental adjustments termed thermomorphogenesis, which facilitates plant cooling under high-temperature conditions. Plant thermal response is suppressed by histone variant H2A.

Promoters play a very important role in the initiation and regulation of gene transcription. Green-tissue promoter is of great significance to the development of genetically modified crops. Based on RNA-seq data and RT-PCR expression analysis, this study screened a gene, (GREEN SPECIAL EXPRESS), which is expressed specifically in green tissues.

Background: Drought is the most important factor that limits rice production in drought-prone environments. Plant microRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in biotic and abiotic stress responses. Common wild rice (Oryza rufipogon Griff.
