The Transcriptional and Translational Landscape of Plant Adaptation to Low Temperatures.

ABSTRACT: One of the unresolved questions in stress-response biology is how plants coordinate expression levels between the response and adaptation. In this work, we proposed a two-level analysis that examines both transcriptional and translational profiles of Solanum lycopersicum under conditions of short-term cold stress, hardening, and their combination. By combining polysome profiling and total transcriptome analysis, we revealed that expression under cold stress is not a simple linear process but a structurally distinct system with two coordinated regulation centres. Hardening triggers a strong transcriptional program focused on biogenesis, light signalling, and structural adaptations. In contrast, acute stress prompts selective translation of metabolic and defence proteins without prior
