MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play diverse roles in plant development, but whether and how miRNAs participate thermomorphogenesis remain ambiguous. Here we show that HYPONASTIC LEAVES 1 (HYL1)-a key component of miRNA biogenesis-acts downstream the thermal regulator PHYTOCHROME INTERACTING FACTOR 4 temperature-dependent plasticity hypocotyl growth Arabidopsis. A hyl1-2 suppressor screen identified a dominant dicer-like1 allele rescues hyl1-2's defects biogenesis thermoresponsive elongation. Genome-wide...
Abstract Photoactivation of the plant photoreceptor and thermosensor phytochrome B (PHYB) triggers its condensation into subnuclear membraneless organelles named photobodies (PBs). However, function PBs in PHYB signaling remains frustratingly elusive. Here, we found that recruits PHYTOCHROME-INTERACTING FACTOR 5 (PIF5) to PBs. Surprisingly, exerts opposing roles degrading stabilizing PIF5. Perturbing PB size by overproducing provoked a biphasic PIF5 response: while moderate increase enhanced...
Abstract Photobodies (PBs) are membraneless subnuclear organelles that self-assemble via concentration-dependent liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) of the plant photoreceptor and thermosensor phytochrome B (PHYB). The current PHYB LLPS model posits separates randomly in nucleoplasm regardless cellular or nuclear context. Here, we established a robust Oligopaints method Arabidopsis to determine positioning individual PBs. We show surprisingly even overexpression lines – where condensation...
Secondary growth of the woody tree stem is governed by meristematic cell division and differentiation in vascular cambium. Multiple hormonal signals endogenous developmental programs regulate cambium activity. Brassinosteroids (BRs) significantly promote secondary wood formation poplar trees. However, underlying regulatory mechanisms BRs within tissue remain unclear. Genetic anatomical approaches were used here to elucidate role PagDET2, rate-limiting enzyme for biosynthesis, regulating...
The circadian clock is an endogenous oscillator, and its importance lies in ability to impart rhythmicity on downstream biological processes, or outputs. Our knowledge of output regulation, however, often limited understanding transcriptional connections between the For instance, linked plant growth through gating photoreceptors via rhythmic transcription nodal regulators, PHYTOCHROME-INTERACTING FACTORs (PIFs), but clock's role PIF protein stability less clear. Here, we identified a...

The circadian clock is an endogenous oscillator, but its importance lies in ability to impart rhythmicity on downstream biological processes or outputs. Focus has been placed understanding the core transcription factors of and how they connect outputs through regulated gene transcription. However, far less known about posttranslational mechanisms that tether clocks output protein regulation. Here, we identify a degradation mechanism tethers photomorphogenic growth. By performing reverse...
