Nuclear auxin signaling and temperature: perception and response across scales.

Journal article The New phytologist · October 2026 Temperature shapes plant biology, affecting everything from molecular biophysics to whole-organism development. Because plant cellular temperature typically matches ambient conditions, cellular processes are inherently affected by temperature. Plants conti ... Full text Cite

AUXIN RESPONSE FACTOR thermostability.

Journal article Nature communications · March 2026 Plants use the plant hormone auxin to incorporate environmental cues into their growth and development to shape the final form. Temperature is an important modulator of all aspects of plant function and growth. In this work, we uncover temperature-regulate ... Full text Cite

Thermosensory reconfiguration of the auxin transcriptional pathway to drive root cell growth.

Journal article Nature communications · March 2026 Elevated temperatures enhance plant root growth. We find that cell elongation significantly contributes to this response. While mutations in the auxin transcriptional pathway impair warmth-induced cell elongation, exogenous auxin inhibits this growth. Intr ... Full text Cite
