A multisensor high-temperature signaling framework for triggering daytime thermomorphogenesis in Arabidopsis [PDF]

Nature Communications
The phytochrome B (phyB) photoreceptor and EARLY FLOWERING 3 (ELF3) are two major plant thermosensors that monitor high temperatures primarily at night. However, high temperatures naturally occur during the daytime; the mechanism of daytime thermosensing

Commensal to pathogen switch in Streptococcus pneumoniae is influenced by a thermosensing master regulator. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens
Opportunistic pathogens switch from a commensal to pathogenic state by sensing and responding to a variety of environmental cues, including temperature fluctuations.

Dual Minimization of Spectrum Overlap for High-Sensitivity, High-Temperature Sensing [PDF]

Sensors
Minimizing the spectrum overlaps of energy transfer (ET) is necessary but not sufficient for achieving high-sensitivity film thermosensing. Herein we have designed two blue emitters of DBA-BPAc and Z-DBABH exhibiting blue and bluish-green emissions ...

The Ionotropic Receptors IR21a and IR25a mediate cool sensing in Drosophila [PDF]

eLife, 2016
Animals rely on highly sensitive thermoreceptors to seek out optimal temperatures, but the molecular mechanisms of thermosensing are not well understood.

Feeling Every Bit of Winter – Distributed Temperature Sensitivity in Vernalization [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Temperature intrinsically influences all aspects of biochemical and biophysical processes. Organisms have therefore evolved strategies to buffer themselves against thermal perturbations.

Is thermosensing property of RNA thermometers unique? [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
A large number of studies have been dedicated to identify the structural and sequence based features of RNA thermometers, mRNAs that regulate their translation initiation rate with temperature.

Sex difference in thermal preference of adult mice does not depend on presence of the gonads [PDF]

Biology of Sex Differences, 2017
Background The thermoneutral zone (TNZ) is a species-specific range of ambient temperature (T a), at which mammals can maintain a constant body temperature with the lowest metabolic rate. The TNZ for an adult mouse is between 26 and 34 °C. Interestingly,

Altered thermal preference by preoptic estrogen receptor alpha neurons in postpartum females [PDF]

Molecular Metabolism
Objective: This study aims to investigate how reproductive experience (RE) alters thermal preference and thermoregulation in female mice, with a focus on estrogen receptor alpha (ERα)-expressing neurons in the preoptic area (POA).

How Rice Responds to Temperature Changes and Defeats Heat Stress [PDF]

Rice
With the intensification of the greenhouse effect, a series of natural phenomena, such as global warming, are gradually recognized; when the ambient temperature increases to the extent that it causes heat stress in plants, agricultural production will ...
