Cold translation: Ribosome-mediated translation inhibition senses cold stress in plants (bioRxiv)
A drop in ambient temperature adversely affects plant growth and development. While the primary molecular pathway in response to cold stress involves the expression of CBF transcription factors, Guillaume-Schöpfer and colleagues found cold stress-induced inhibition of ribosome translation machinery to control CBF expression. To start, the rate of protein synthesis was found to be proportional […]
