Dynamics of the Transcriptome Response to Heat in the Moss, Physcomitrella patens.

ABSTRACT: Thermal stress negatively impacts crop yields, and as the overall temperature of the earth's atmosphere is gradually increasing, the identification of the temperature transduction pathway of the heat signal is essential in developing new strategies in order to adapt plant breeding to warmer climates. Heat stress damages the molecular structures and physiological processes in plants in proportion to the level and duration of the stress, which leads to different types of responses. In general, plants respond more efficiently when they are first subjected to a moderate temperature increase before being subjected to a higher temperature stress. This adaptive response is called the acclimation period and has been investigated in several plant species. However, there is a lack of information on
