Plants respond to slight increases in ambient temperature by altering their architecture, a phenomenon collectively termed thermomorphogenesis. Thermomorphogenesis helps mitigate the damage caused by potentially harmful high-temperature conditions and is modulated by multiple environmental factors. Among these factors, ultraviolet-B (UV-B) light has been shown to strongly suppress this response.

Although elevated ambient temperature causes many effects on plant growth and development, the mechanisms of plant high-ambient temperature sensing remain unknown. In this study, we show that GLYCOGEN SYNTHASE KINASE 3s (GSK3s) negatively regulate high-ambient temperature response and oligomerize upon high-temperature treatment. We demonstrate that GSK3 kinase BIN2 specifically interacts with the high-temperature sensor phytochrome B (phyB) but not the high-temperature sensor EARLY FLOWER 3 (ELF3) to phosphorylate and promote phyB photobody formation.

Photobodies (PBs) are membraneless subnuclear organelles that self-assemble via concentration-dependent liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) of the plant photoreceptor and thermosensor phytochrome B (PHYB). The current PHYB LLPS model posits that PHYB phase separates randomly in the nucleoplasm regardless of the cellular or nuclear context. Here, we established a robust Oligopaints method in Arabidopsis to determine the positioning of individual PBs.

Photoactivation of the plant photoreceptor and thermosensor phytochrome B (PHYB) triggers its condensation into subnuclear membraneless organelles named photobodies (PBs). However, the function of PBs in PHYB signaling remains frustratingly elusive. Here, we found that PHYB recruits PHYTOCHROME-INTERACTING FACTOR 5 (PIF5) to PBs.
