Abstract
AbstractTemperature is a key factor in determining plant growth and development, geographical distribution, and seasonal behavior. Plants accurately sense subtle changes in ambient temperature and alter their growth and development accordingly to improve their chances of survival and successful propagation. Thermomorphogenesis encompasses a variety of morphological changes that help plants acclimate to warm environmental temperatures. Revealing the molecular mechanism of thermomorphogenesis is important for breeding thermo-tolerant crops and ensuring food security under global climate change. Plant adaptation to elevated ambient temperature is regulated by multiple signaling pathways and epigenetic mechanisms such as histone modifications, histone variants, and non-coding RNAs. In this review, we summarize recent advances in the mechanism of epigenetic regulation during thermomorphogenesis with a focus on the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana and briefly discuss future prospects for this field.
