Molecular Mechanisms of the Phytohormone–Heat Shock Protein Pathway in Regulating Plant Thermotolerance [PDF]

Plants
Heat stress caused by global climate change poses a significant threat to agricultural production. Phytohormones, as critical signaling molecules, play pivotal roles in modulating plant responses to heat stress.

Toward a systems metabolic engineering approach to improve thermotolerance of Escherichia coli [PDF]

Microbial Cell Factories
Escherichia coli is one of the leading microbial chassis for bioproduct manufacturing in biotechnology. However, its use in high-temperature bioprocesses is restricted to its mesophilic nature.

The miR396f-GRF7 Module Confers Thermotolerance in Rice [PDF]

Rice
Heat stress is one of the major threats to global rice production globally. Uncovering key genetic regulators of thermotolerance is crucial for breeding climate-resilient crops.

Heat Shock-Induced Accumulation of the Glycogen Synthase Kinase 3-Like Kinase BRASSINOSTEROID INSENSITIVE 2 Promotes Early Flowering but Reduces Thermotolerance in Arabidopsis

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Brassinosteroids (BRs) are essential plant growth- and development-regulating phytohormones. When applied exogenously, BRs ameliorate heat shock (HS)-induced cell damage and enhance plant thermotolerance; however, the molecular mechanism by which BRs ...

Variation in Coral Thermotolerance Across a Pollution Gradient Erodes as Coral Symbionts Shift to More Heat-Tolerant Genera

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Phenotypic plasticity is one mechanism whereby species may cope with stressful environmental changes associated with climate change. Reef building corals present a good model for studying phenotypic plasticity because they have experienced rapid climate ...

Natural variation in the thermotolerance of neural function and behavior due to a cGMP-dependent protein kinase. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2007
Although it is acknowledged that genetic variation contributes to individual differences in thermotolerance, the specific genes and pathways involved and how they are modulated by the environment remain poorly understood. We link natural variation in the

Thermotolerance of tax-2 Is Uncoupled From Life Span Extension and Influenced by Temperature During Development in C. elegans

Frontiers in Genetics, 2020
Thermotolerance of an organism is a complex trait that is influenced by a multitude of genetic and environmental factors. Many factors controlling thermotolerance in Caenorhabditis elegans are known to extend life.

The coupling of transcriptome and proteome adaptation during development and heat stress response of tomato pollen

BMC Genomics, 2018
Background Pollen development is central for plant reproduction and is assisted by changes of the transcriptome and proteome. At the same time, pollen development and viability is largely sensitive to stress, particularly to elevated temperatures.

S-Nitrosoglutathione Reductase Contributes to Thermotolerance by Modulating High Temperature-Induced Apoplastic H2O2 in Solanum lycopersicum

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
S-nitrosoglutathione reductase (GSNOR) is considered as a critical regulator of plant stress tolerance for its impacts on protein S-nitrosylation through regulation of the S-nitrosothiol (SNO) level.

Could behaviour and not physiological thermal tolerance determine winter survival of aphids in cereal fields? [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Traits of physiological thermotolerance are commonly measured in the laboratory as predictors of the field success of ectotherms at unfavourable temperatures (e.g. during harsh winters, heatwaves, or under conditions of predicted global warming).
