Scientists at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Kolkata, in collaboration with Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), New Delhi, have uncovered a key molecular mechanism that helps plants sense and respond to warmer temperatures, a discovery with significant implications for developing climate-resilient crops. Published in Science Advances, the study reveals that LIGHT-RESPONSE BRIC- A-BRACK/TRAMTRACK/BROAD (LRB) E3-ubiquitin ligases play an essential role in thermomorphogenesis, the process by which plants elongate their stems in response to warmer temperatures, in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana.
