Abstract:
Light and temperature are two key environmental factors that control plant growth and adaptation by influencing biomolecular events. This review highlights the latest milestones on the role of light and high temperatures in modulating the epigenetic and epitranscriptomic landscape of Arabidopsis to trigger developmental and adaptive responses to a changing environment. Recent discoveries on how light and high temperature signals are integrated in the nucleus to modulate gene expression are discussed, as well as highlighting research gaps and future perspectives in further understanding how to promote plant resilience in times of climate change.

Transcription
Transcription is the process of synthesizing RNA from a DNA sequence by RNA polymerase. It is the first step in producing a protein from a gene sequence. Additionally, many other proteins and regulatory sequences are involved in the proper synthesis of messenger RNA (mRNA). Regulation of transcription is responsible for the differentiation of all the different types of cells and often for the proper cellular response to environmental signals.

Regulation of Expression Occurs at Multiple Steps
Transcription results in the generation of precursor (pre-mRNA) that consists of both exons and introns, which needs further processing before being translated to a...
