Regulation of PIF4-mediated thermosensory growth.

Ambient temperature has profound impacts on almost every aspect of plant growth and development, including seed germination, stem and petiole elongation, leaf movement, stomata development, flowering, and pathogen defense. Although the signal transduction pathways underlying plant responses to extreme cold and heat temperatures have been well studied, our understanding, at the molecular level, of how plants adjust phenotypic plasticity in response to nonstressful ambient temperature is still rudimentary. This review summarizes studies related to PHYTOCHROME-INTERACTING FACTOR 4 (PIF4), the cardinal regulator of thermoresponsive growth in the model dicotyledonous plant Arabidopsis thaliana, emphasizing recent progress in the light-quality- and photoperiod-dependent regulation of PIF4-mediated thermomorphogenesis.
