Our new research article entitled “RCB initiates Arabidopsis thermomorphogenesis by stabilizing the thermoregulator PIF4 in the daytime” has been published in Nature Communications. This study identifies RCB (REGULATOR OF CHLOROPLAST BIOGENESIS) as a new essential component of temperature signaling in Arabidopsis. We show that RCB interacts directly with HEMERA, another temperature signaling component identified by our group, to selectively stabilize the central thermoregulator PIF4 in the daytime.

Nature Communications features our study in the Editor’s Highlights.

Congratulations to all authors!
