Typically at dawn on a hot summer day, land plants need precise molecular thermometers to
sense harmless increments in the ambient temperature to induce a timely heat shock …

An increased concentration of cytosolic calcium ions (Ca2+) is an early response by plant
cells to heat shock. However, the molecular mechanism underlying the heat‐induced initial …

Calcium signaling has been postulated to be critical for both heat and chilling tolerance in
plants, but its molecular mechanisms are not fully understood. Here, we investigated the …

Land plants are prone to strong thermal variations and must therefore sense early moderate
temperature increments to induce appropriate cellular defenses, such as molecular …

Plants respond to ambient temperature changes over a series of timescales. Genetic and
physiological studies over the last decades have revealed myriad thermally sensitive …

Heat stress events are major factors limiting crop productivity. During summer days, land
plants must anticipate in a timely manner upcoming mild and severe temperature. They …

In plants, the heat stress response (HSR) is highly conserved and involves multiple
pathways, regulatory networks and cellular compartments. At least four putative sensors …

We investigated heat shock (HS)‐triggered Ca2+ signalling transduced by a Ca2+ sensor,
calmodulin (CaM), linked to early transcriptome changes of HS‐responsive genes in rice …

An accurate assessment of the rising ambient temperature by plant cells is crucial for the
timely activation of various molecular defences before the appearance of heat damage …

Living organisms are capable of discriminating thermal stimuli from noxious cold to noxious
heat. For more than 30 years, it has been known that plant cells respond to cold with a large …
