Scientists Identified A New Temperature Sensing Mechanism In Plants

A group of cell biologists led by Meng Chen, a professor of botany and plant sciences at the University of California, Riverside, revealed the phytochrome B molecule in plants has amazing dynamics that are activated by temperature and acts differently depending on the temperature and nature of light. The team has analyzed the response of cells exposed to varying temperatures and light conditions from the leaves and stems of a plant called Arabidopsis thaliana. As the world is getting warmer due to climate change, it will eventually have an impact on the crop growth patterns. Therefore, detailed insights on how
