Modeling indicates degradation of mRNA and protein as a potential regulation mechanisms during cold acclimation.

ABSTRACT: Plants are constantly exposed to temperature fluctuations, which have direct effects on all cellular reactions because temperature influences reaction likelihood and speed. Chloroplasts are crucial to temperature acclimation responses of plants, due to their photosynthetic reactions whose products play a central role in plant metabolism. Consequently, chloroplasts serve as sensors of temperature changes and are simultaneously major targets of temperature acclimation. The core subunits of the complexes involved in the light reactions of photosynthesis are encoded in the chloroplast. As a result, it is assumed that temperature acclimation in plants requires regulatory responses in chloroplast gene expression and protein turnover. We conducted western blot experiments to assess changes in the
