Abstract
The signaling network formed by external environmental signals and endogenous hormone signals is an important basis for the adaptive growth of plants. We recently identified a UDP-glucosyltransferase gene, UGT76F1, which controls the glucosylation of auxin precursor IPyA and mediates light-temperature signaling to regulate auxin-dependent hypocotyl elongation in Arabidopsis. However, it is unclear whether UGT76F1 is involved in the adaptive growth of other tissues and whether it is related to the signaling of other hormones besides auxin. Here we investigated the petiole elongation of UGT76F1 overexpression lines and knockout mutant lines, and also studied the effects of UGT76F1 on BR signaling. Experimental results indicated that UGT76F1 is involved in the PIF4-mediated petiole growth under high temperature and that UGT76F1 is also related to the BR signaling in controlling hypocotyl growth. These results suggest that UGT76F1 may have a wider significance in the plant adaptations to surrounding environments.

Abstract
The developmental program by which plants respond is tightly controlled by a complex cascade in which photoreceptors perceive and transduce the light signals that drive signaling processes and direct the transcriptional reprogramming, yielding specific cellular responses. The molecular mechanisms involved in the transcriptional regulation include light-regulated nuclear localization (the phytochromes and UVR8) and nuclear accumulation (the cryptochrome, cry2) of photoreceptors. This regulatory cascade also includes master regulatory transcription factors (TFs) that bridge photoreceptor activation with chromatin remodeling and regulate the expression of numerous light-responsive genes. Light signaling-related TFs often function as signal convergence points in concert with TFs in other signaling pathways to integrate complex endogenous and environmental cues that help the plant adapt to the surrounding environment. Increasing evidence suggests that chromatin modifications play a critical role in regulating light-responsive gene expression and provide an additional layer of light signaling regulation. Here, we provide an overview of our current knowledge of the transcriptional regulatory network involved in the light response, particularly the roles of TFs and chromatin in regulating light-responsive gene expression.

Abstract
Ambient temperature has profound impacts on almost every aspect of plant growth and development, including seed germination, stem and petiole elongation, leaf movement, stomata development, flowering, and pathogen defense. Although the signal transduction pathways underlying plant responses to extreme cold and heat temperatures have been well studied, our understanding, at the molecular level, of how plants adjust phenotypic plasticity in response to nonstressful ambient temperature is still rudimentary. This review summarizes studies related to PHYTOCHROME-INTERACTING FACTOR 4 (PIF4), the cardinal regulator of thermoresponsive growth in the model dicotyledonous plant Arabidopsis thaliana, emphasizing recent progress in the light-quality- and photoperiod-dependent regulation of PIF4-mediated thermomorphogenesis.

Abstract
Plant development displays a remarkable degree of plasticity and continuously adjusts to the plant's surroundings, a process that is triggered by the perception of environmental cues such as light and temperature. Transcription factors of the PHYTOCHROME-INTERACTING FACTOR (PIF) family have long been established as key negative regulators of light responses; within the last decade, increasing evidence suggests that they are also core components of temperature signalling, and multiple mechanisms by which temperature regulates activity of these transcription factors have been discovered. It has become clear that these temperature responses cannot be considered in isolation, but that they occur in the context of, and are influenced by, other environmental signals. This review discusses recent advances in the understanding of the mechanisms through which temperature affects PIF function and how these mechanisms are influenced by the light environment.

Abstract
Plant growth caused by ambient temperature is thought to be regulated by a complex transcriptional network. A temperature-sensitive peach (Prunus persica) was used to explore the mechanisms behind shoot internode elongation at elevated temperatures. There was a significantly positive correlation between the length of the terminal internode (TIL) and the maximum temperature three days prior to the measuring day. Four critical growth stages (initial period and initial elongation period at lower temperature, rapid growth period and stable growth period at higher temperature) were selected for comparative RNA-seq analysis. About 6.64G clean bases were obtained for each library, and 88.27% of the data were mapped to the reference genome. Differentially expressed gene (DEG) analysis among the three pairwise comparisons resulted in the detection of several genes related to the shoot elongation in temperature-sensitive peach. HSFAs were up-regulated in response to the elevated temperature, while the up-regulated expression of HSPs might influence hormone signaling pathways. Most of DEGs involved in auxin, abscisic acid and jasmonic acid were up-regulated, while some involved in cytokinin and brassinosteroid were down-regulated. Genes related to ethylene, salicylic acid and circadian rhythm were also differentially expressed. Genes related to aquaporins, expansins, pectinesterases and endoglucanase were up-regulated, which would promote cell elongation. These results lay a foundation for further dissection of the regulatory mechanisms underlying shoot elongation at elevated temperatures.

Abstract
High temperature activates the transcription factor PHYTOCHROME-INTERACTING FACTOR4 (PIF4) to stimulate auxin signaling, which causes hypocotyl elongation and leaf hyponasty (thermomorphogenesis). HOOKLESS1 (HLS1) is a recently reported positive regulator of thermomorphogenesis, but the molecular mechanisms by which HLS1 regulates thermomorphogenesis remain unknown. In this study, we initially compared PIF4- and/or HLS1-dependent differential gene expression (DEG) upon high-temperature treatment. We found that a large number of genes are coregulated by PIF4 and HLS1, especially genes involved in plant growth or defense responses. Moreover, we found that HLS1 interacts with PIF4 to form a regulatory module and that, among the HLS1-PIF4-coregulated genes, 27.7% are direct targets of PIF4. We also identified 870 differentially alternatively spliced genes (DASGs) in wild-type plants under high temperature. Interestingly, more than half of these DASG events (52.4%) are dependent on both HLS1 and PIF4, and the spliceosome-defective mutant plantsexhibit a hyposensitive response to high temperature, indicating that DASGs are required for thermomorphogenesis. Further comparative analyses showed that the HLS1/PIF4-coregulated DEGs and DASGs exhibit almost no overlap, suggesting that high temperature triggers two distinct strategies to control plant responses and thermomorphogenesis. Taken together, these results demonstrate that the HLS1-PIF4 module precisely controls both transcriptional and posttranscriptional regulation during plant thermomorphogenesis.

Abstract
Auxin is a class of plant hormone that plays a crucial role in the life cycle of plants, particularly in the growth response of plants to ever-changing environments. Since the auxin responses are concentration-dependent and higher auxin concentrations might often be inhibitory, the optimal endogenous auxin level must be closely controlled. However, the underlying mechanism governing auxin homeostasis remains largely unknown. In this study, a UDP-glycosyltransferase (UGT76F1) was identified from Arabidopsis thaliana, which participates in the regulation of auxin homeostasis by glucosylation of indole-3-pyruvic acid (IPyA), a major precursor of the auxin indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) biosynthesis, in the formation of IPyA glucose conjugates (IPyA-Glc). In addition, UGT76F1 was found to mediate hypocotyl growth by modulating active auxin levels in a light- and temperature-dependent manner. Moreover, the transcription of UGT76F1 was demonstrated to be directly and negatively regulated by PIF4, which is a key integrator of both light and temperature signaling pathways. This study sheds a light on the trade-off between IAA biosynthesis and IPyA-Glc formation in controlling auxin levels and reveals a regulatory mechanism for plant growth adaptation to environmental changes through glucosylation of IPyA.

Abstract
Environmental light signal and GAs synergistically regulate seed dormancy and germination. The phytochrome B (phyB) photoreceptor regulates expression of the REVEILLE1 (RVE1) transcription factor, which directly inhibits GIBBERELLIN 3-OXIDASE2 transcription, suppressing GA biosynthesis. However, whether phyB-RVE1 coordinates with GA signaling in controlling seed dormancy and germination remains unknown. Here, we demonstrate that RVE1 regulation of seed dormancy and germination requires a DELLA repressor, REPRESSOR OF GA-LIKE2 (RGL2), in Arabidopsis thaliana. RVE1 interacts with both RGL2 and its E3 ubiquitin ligase SLEEPY1 (SLY1) and promotes RGL2 stability by restraining the RGL2-SLY1 interaction. Furthermore, RVE1 and RGL2 synergistically regulate global transcriptome changes; RGL2 enhances the DNA-binding capacity and transcriptional activity of RVE1 in regulating downstream gene expression. Moreover, RGL2 expression is repressed by phyB. Our study reveals a novel regulatory mechanism in which the RVE1-RGL2 module coordinately controls seed dormancy and germination by integrating light perception, GA metabolism and GA signaling pathways.

Abstract
Regulation of expression and methylation of promoters of two aconitase (EC 4.2.1.3) genes by light have been investigated in maize (Zea mays L.) in relation to the involvement of phytochrome. Transferring of plants from light to darkness resulted in the stimulation of aconitase activity in mitochondria and in its suppression in the cytosol. Irradiation by red light reversed aconitase activity to the levels observed under white light while far red light reverted the effect of red light. Electrophoretic staining of aconitase activity revealed the preference of the cytosolic form in white and red light and of the mitochondrial form in darkness and in far red light. Both forms of aconitase were purified, the mitochondrial form revealed lower affinity to citrate and higher to isocitrate as compared to the cytosolic form. The study of the aconitase gene Aco1 encoding the mitochondrial form revealed its low expression and high promoter methylation in the light and upon irradiation by red light as compared to high expression and low promoter methylation in darkness and in far red light. The pattern of expression and promoter methylation of the gene Aco2 encoding the cytosolic form was opposite. It is concluded that expression of the mitochondrial and cytosolic forms of aconitase is under control of light via phytochrome in opposite ways at the level of promoter methylation. Light inhibits expression of the mitochondrial aconitase, while it stimulates expression of the cytosolic aconitase which is important for directing citrate exported from mitochondria to the synthesis of amino acids.

Abstract
Many plant species respond to unfavorable high ambient temperatures by adjusting their vegetative body plan to facilitate cooling. This process is known as thermomorphogenesis and is induced by the phytohormone auxin. Here, we demonstrate that the chromatin-modifying enzyme HISTONE DEACETYLASE 9 (HDA9) mediates thermomorphogenesis but does not interfere with hypocotyl elongation during shade avoidance. HDA9 is stabilized in response to high temperature and mediates histone deacetylation at the YUCCA8 locus, a rate-limiting enzyme in auxin biosynthesis, at warm temperatures. We show that HDA9 permits net eviction of the H2A.Z histone variant from nucleosomes associated with YUCCA8, allowing binding and transcriptional activation by PHYTOCHROME INTERACTING FACTOR 4, followed by auxin accumulation and thermomorphogenesis.

Abstract
Protoporphyrinogen IX oxidase1 (PPO1) catalyzes the oxidation of protoporphyrinogen IX to form protoporphyrin IX in the plastid tetrapyrrole biosynthesis pathway and is also essential for plastid RNA editing in Arabidopsis thaliana. The Arabidopsis ppo1-1 mutation was previously shown to be seedling lethal; however, in this study, we showed that the heterozygous ppo1-1/+ mutant exhibited reproductive growth defects characterized by reduced silique length and seed set, as well as aborted pollen development. In this mutant, the second mitotic division was blocked during male gametogenesis, whereas female gametogenesis was impaired at the one-nucleate stage. Before perishing at the seedling stage, the homozygous ppo1-1 mutant displayed reduced hypocotyl and root length, increased levels of reactive oxygen species accumulation and elevated cell death, especially under light conditions. Wild-type seedlings treated with acifluorfen, a PPO1 inhibitor, showed similar phenotypes to the ppo1-1 mutants, and both plants possessed a high proportion of 2C nuclei and a low proportion of 8C nuclei compared with the untreated wild type. Genome-wide RNA-seq analysis showed that a number of genes, including cell cycle-related genes, were differentially regulated by PPO1. Consistently, PPO1 was highly expressed in the pollen, anther, pistil and root apical meristem cells actively undergoing cell division. Our study reveals a role for PPO1 involved in the mitotic cell cycle during gametogenesis and seedling development.

Abstract
Elevated ambient temperatures will likely be a key consequence of climate change over the next few decades. Adverse climatic changes could make crop plants more vulnerable to a number of biotic and abiotic stresses, which would have a major impact on worldwide food production in the future. Recent studies have indicated that elevated temperatures directly and/or indirectly affect plant-pathogen interactions. Elevated temperatures alter multiple signal transduction pathways related to stress responses in the host plant. High temperatures can also influence plant pathogenesis, but little is known about the molecular mechanisms associated with such effects. An improved understanding of the molecular genetic mechanisms involved in plant immune responses under elevated temperatures will be essential to mitigate the adverse effects of climate change to ensure future food security. In this review, we discuss recent advances in our understanding of the effects of temperature on resistance (R) gene and/or regulators of R genes in plant defense responses and summarize current evidence for tradeoffs between plant growth and immunity.

Abstract
Thermosensitive genic male sterile (TGMS) lines favored heterosis exploitation in two-line hybrid rice. TMS5, a member of RNase Z cleavages the UbL40 mRNAs, plays an important role in two-line hybrid rice. Here, we identified a new TGMS mutant 93-11s, which lost two amino acids in the first exon of TMS5 gene and caused thermosensitive genic male sterility in rice. The tms5-2 cannot process mRNAs of the ubiquitin fusion ribosomal protein L40 (UbL40) and hence cause the mRNAs accumulation in restrictive temperature. Further, we identified a nucleus-localized bHLH transcription factor OsbHLH138, which can form the basic helix-loop-helix structure and bind the core region of tms5-2 promoter sequences by bHLH domain, and activate expression of tms5-2 by the acidic amino acid-rich domain. These results indicate a novel mechanism for the tms5-2 regulating thermosensitive male sterility of rice. By altering expression of OsbHLH138, we can regulate the expression level of TMS5 and the accumulation of UbL40 mRNAs to command the male fertility in different temperatures. The identification of OsbHLH138 provides breeders a new choice for development of TGMS rice lines, which will favor the sustainable development of two-line hybrid rice.

Abstract
When exposed to warmer, nonstressful average temperatures, some plant organs grow and develop at a faster rate without affecting their final dimensions. Other plant organs show specific changes in morphology or development in a response termed thermomorphogenesis. Selected coding and noncoding RNA, chromatin features, alternative splicing variants, and signaling proteins change their abundance, localization, and/or intrinsic activity to mediate thermomorphogenesis. Temperature, light, and circadian clock cues are integrated to impinge on the level or signaling of hormones such as auxin, brassinosteroids, and gibberellins. The light receptor phytochrome B (phyB) is a temperature sensor, and the phyB-PHYTOCHROME-INTERACTING FACTOR 4 (PIF4)-auxin module is only one thread in a complex network that governs temperature sensitivity. Thermomorphogenesis offers an avenue to search for climate-smart plants to sustain crop and pasture productivity in the context of global climate change.
