Abstract:Plants have evolved to anticipate and adjust their growth and development in response to environmental changes. To mitigate the negative influence of global climate change on crop production, understanding the key regulators of plant performance is imperative.EARLY FLOWERING 3(ELF3) is such a regulator involved in the circadian clock and thermomorphogenesis.Arabidopsis thalianaELF3 contains a prion-like domain (PrD) that functions as a thermosensor, enabling its liquid-liquid phase separation at high ambient t… Show more
