Thermosensing and thermal responses in plants

open access: yesTrends in Biochemical Sciences, 2023
Thermosensors have been identified in plants in recent years. Understanding how plants sense and respond to rising temperatures is of utmost importance currently in terms of global warming and its actual and potential impact on us. This forum explores the recent understanding of plant thermosensing and thermal responses.

Thermosensation and pain

Journal of Neurobiology, 2004
AbstractWe feel a wide range of temperatures spanning from cold to heat. Within this range, temperatures over about 43°C and below about 15°C evoke not only a thermal sensation, but also a feeling of pain. In mammals, six thermosensitive ion channels have been reported, all of which belong to the TRP (transient receptor potential) superfamily.

Peripheral thermosensation in mammals

Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2014
Our ability to perceive temperature is crucial: it enables us to swiftly react to noxiously cold or hot objects and helps us to maintain a constant body temperature. Sensory nerve endings, upon depolarization by temperature-gated ion channels, convey electrical signals from the periphery to the CNS, eliciting a sense of temperature.

Evolutionary adaptation to thermosensation

Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 2015
Organisms continuously evolve to adapt to changing environmental conditions. Chief among these are daily and seasonal temperature fluctuations. Relatively small in terms of real physical values, temperature fluctuations of just a few degrees can profoundly affect organismal functions.

ThermoSense

Proceedings of the 11th ACM Conference on Embedded Networked Sensor Systems, 2013
Buildings are often inefficiently conditioned. Rooms that are empty are needlessly conditioned and partially filled rooms are conditioned assuming maximum occupancy. In this demonstration, we describe a system that reduces energy consumption by opportunistically reducing energy consumption based on room usage; we only condition rooms currently occupied

Individual differences in oral thermosensation

Physiology & Behavior, 2006
Although oral thermosensation is critical to the perception of food and drinks, little information is available on the organization of individual differences in these abilities. We examined the relationship between measures of cooling and warming on the tongue and lip and the association of these measures to taste sensitivity in a sample of 76 healthy ...

Reverse Engineering of a Thermosensing Regulator Switch

Journal of Molecular Biology, 2019
To address the mechanism of thermosensing and its implications for molecular engineering, we previously deconstructed the functional components of the bacterial thermosensor DesK, a histidine kinase with a five-span transmembrane domain that detects temperature changes.

Thermosensation involving thermo-TRPs

Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology, 2021
The transient receptor potential (TRP) channels constitute a superfamily of large ion channels that are activated by a wide range of chemical, mechanical and thermal stimuli. TRP channels with temperature sensitivity are called thermo-TRPs. They are involved in diverse physiological functions through their detection of external environmental ...

Quantitative thermosensation in a single touch

Sensors and Actuators A: Physical, 2021
Abstract Thermosensation is the skin perception of thermal stimuli, including temperature and temperature changing rate. Measurements of the thermal transport properties of materials in the environment by robotic hand can help robots analyze environment conditions and make decisions.
