Abstract

AbstractTemperature fluctuations repress plant growth. Although glycine-rich RNA-binding proteins (GRPs) and cold shock proteins (CSPs) have been implicated in cold adaptation, their physiological roles in the response to temperature fluctuations are largely unknown. The receptor kinase FERONIA (FER), a master regulator of cell growth, phosphorylates GRP7 within its intrinsically disordered region to modulate mRNA alternative splicing in the nucleus. Here we show that natural variations at a GRP7 residue phosphorylated by FER influences GRP7 liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS), aiding Arabidopsis to grow over a wider temperature range. LLPS of GRP7 in the cytoplasm leads to the formation of stress granules that recruits RNAs, along with the translation machinery component eIF4E1 and mRNA chaperones, CSP1 and CSP3, to inhibit translation. Mutations in FER and the GRP7-LLPS-recruited components attenuate root growth under temperature shift conditions. Our findings illustrate the roles of GRP7 LLPS in improving plant root capacity to withstand temperature fluctuations.
