Temperature is a key environmental signal regulating plant development, but the mechanisms by which plants sense small changes in ambient temperature have remained elusive. Kumar and Wigge (2010) now reveal that eviction of the histone variant H2A.Z from nucleosomes performs a central role in plant thermosensory perception.
温度是调节植物发育的关键环境信号，但植物感知环境温度微小变化的机制仍然难以捉摸。Kumar 和 Wigge（2010）现在揭示了组蛋白变体 H2A.Z 从核小体中逐出在植物热感觉感知中起着核心作用。
