“…The A. thaliana genome encodes many other membrane‐bound transcription factors, a number of which have been shown to translocate from the ER to the nucleus to regulate gene expression (Iwata and Koizumi ; Yang et al ). Of these transcription factors, ER stress can induce the relocation of NAC089, promote the expression of a transmembrane‐domain‐deletion form of this protein, which can regulate the activity of caspase‐like proteins and induce programmed cell death (Yang et al ).…”

The increased prevalence of high temperatures (HTs) around the world is a major global concern, as they dramatically affect agronomic productivity. Upon HT exposure, plants sense the temperature change and initiate cellular and metabolic responses that enable them to adapt to their new environmental conditions. Decoding the mechanisms by which plants cope with HT will facilitate the development of molecular markers to enable the production of plants with improved thermotolerance. In recent decades, genetic, physiological, molecular, and biochemical studies have revealed a number of vital cellular components and processes involved in thermoresponsive growth and the acquisition of thermotolerance in plants. This review summarizes the major mechanisms involved in plant HT responses, with a special focus on recent discoveries related to plant thermosensing, heat stress signaling, and HT-regulated gene expression networks that promote plant adaptation to elevated environmental temperatures.
