Temperature is a key factor governing the growth and development, distribution, and
seasonal behavior of plants. The entire plant life cycle is affected by environmental …

Cold stress restricts plant growth, development, and distribution. Understanding how plants
transduce and respond to cold signals has long been a topic of interest. Traditional genetic …

Light and temperature in plants are perceived by a common receptor, phytochrome B
(phyB). How phyB distinguishes these signals remains elusive. Here, we report that phyB …

When exposed to warmer, nonstressful average temperatures, some plant organs grow and
develop at a faster rate without affecting their final dimensions. Other plant organs show …

Many environmental conditions fluctuate and organisms need to respond effectively. This is
especially true for temperature cues that can change in minutes to seasons and often follow …

Light controls important physiological and morphological responses in fungi. Fungi can
sense near-ultraviolet, blue, green, red and far-red light using up to 11 photoreceptors and …

Communication occurs when a sender emits a cue perceived by a receiver that changes the
receiver's behavior. Plants perceive information regarding light, water, other nutrients, touch …

The circadian oscillator is a complex network of interconnected feedback loops that
regulates a wide range of physiological processes. Indeed, variation in clock genes has …

During summer, plants often experience increased light inputs and high temperatures, two
major environmental factors with contrasting effects on thermomorphological traits. The …

Optimizing the perception of external cues and regulating physiology accordingly help
plants to cope with the constantly changing environmental conditions to which they are …
