Epigenetic Mechanism Helps Plants to Live under High Temperatures
Chinese Academy of Sciences Global warming imposes a major threat to plant growth and crop production. In many cases, plants could sense the temperature increase and adjust their morphology and development, facilitating plant cooling and warm adaptation. Hence, understanding the mechanisms of these morphological and developmental changes, collectively called thermomorphogenesis, could benefit the breeding of warm-adaptive crops. Recently, a research team led by Dr. JIANG Danhua from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology (IGDB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) investigate...
