Lĕi (鸓), is a legendary bird believed to protect against fires. Its double-headed nature represents the dual function of the HSFA1 protein in plant #heat tolerance and #thermomorphogenesis. Read the new study from Li et al. https://doi.org/10.1111/jipb.13579

Little was known about the connection between #thermomorphogenesis and #HeatShock (HS) response, or even whether they are activated by similar mechanisms...until now. Discover the crucial role of HSFA1s! ⬇️🌡️

#Auxin-dependent regulation of cell division rates governs #Arabidopsis root #thermomorphogenesis

Marcel Quint and colleagues find a direct #temperature-sensing mechanism acting on cell proliferation in the apical #meristem to control #root growth

#Thermomorphogenesis: plant grows in different shapes (eg elongated leaf stems) with temperature. Accelerated growth mediated by protein ELF3 with #prion-related domain.
