Description
Summary:Abstract Growing concern around global warming has led to an increase in research focused on plant responses to increased temperature. In this review, we highlight recent advances in our understanding of plant adaptation to high ambient temperature and heat stress, emphasizing the roles of plant light signaling in these responses. We summarize how high temperatures regulate plant cotyledon expansion and shoot and root elongation and explain how plants use light signaling to combat severe heat stress. Finally, we discuss several future avenues for this research and identify various unresolved questions within this field.
