Abstract

Thermosensors have been identified in plants in recent years. Understanding how plants sense and respond to rising temperatures is of utmost importance currently in terms of global warming and its actual and potential impact on us. This forum explores the recent understanding of plant thermosensing and thermal responses.

Keywords: plant thermotolerance; thermomorphogenesis; thermosensors; thermosensory mechanisms.
