Overexpression of BBX18 Promotes Thermomorphogenesis Through the PRR5-PIF4 Pathway
Thermomorphogenesis is the morphological response of plants to an elevation in the ambient temperature, which is mediated by the bHLH transcription factor PIF4. The evening-expressed clock component, PRR5, directly represses the expression of PIF4 mRNA. Additionally, PRR5 interacts with PIF4 protein...
