To draw the complete picture of plant thermal signaling, it is important to find the missing links between the temperature cue, the actual sensing, and the subsequent response. In this context, several plant thermosensors have been proposed. Here, we compare these with thermosensors in various other organisms, put them in the context of thermosensing in plants, and suggest a set of criteria to which a thermosensor must adhere. Finally, we propose that more emphasis should be given to structural analysis of DNA, RNA, and proteins in light of the activity of potential thermosensors.
为了描绘植物热信号的完整图景,找到温度线索、实际感应和后续响应之间缺失的环节非常重要。在这种情况下,已经提出了几种植物热传感器。在这里,我们将这些与各种其他生物体中的热传感器进行了比较,将它们置于植物热感应的背景下,并提出了一套热传感器必须遵循的标准。最后,我们建议应根据潜在热传感器的活性,更加重视 DNA、RNA 和蛋白质的结构分析。
