Abstract:
This commentary interprets recent findings on how plants decode heat at the plasma membrane. By discussing FERONIA-mediated membrane nanoclusters, it highlights how receptor activation, lipid organization, and signaling compartmentalization work together to distinguish adaptive warming from damaging heat, offering new perspectives on plant thermosensing and crop heat resilience.
