TL;DR: The model provides a new conceptual framework for the plant clock that includes a three‐component repressilator circuit in its complex structure, and removes the necessity for the unknown component X (or TOC1mod) from previous clock models.

TL;DR: How the emerging knowledge in Arabidopsis may be transferred to relevant crop systems is discussed, as this knowledge will be key to rational breeding for thermo-tolerant crop varieties.

TL;DR: The bHLH transcription factor SPATULA is a light-stable repressor of seed germination and mediates the germination response to temperature and SPT is required in dormant seeds for maintaining the repression of GA3ox transcription.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that by directly targeting a common promoter cis-element (G-box), HY5 and PIFs form a dynamic activation-suppression transcriptional module responsive to light and temperature cues that provides a simple, direct mechanism through which environmental change can redirect transcriptional control of genes required for photosynthesis and photoprotection.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the early flowering phenotype of phyB is temperature-dependent and that this temperature-sensitive flowering response defines a pathway that appears to be independent of the autonomous-FLC pathway.
