Researchers at Martin Luther University Halle Wittenberg(MLU) joined forces with the

34、 Leibniz Institute for Plant Biochemistry(IPB) to discover the molecular (分子) process of plant growth. In Current Biology, a scientific journal, they presented their findings on high-temperature plant growth. This could lead to developing plants that can survive global warming. Plants react to even

35、small temperature changes, but they are unable to move to new locations. “When temperatures rise, plants grow taller . to cool themselves off. Their stems become taller, and their leaves become narrower and grow farther apart. Yet, this makes the plant more unstable overall,” explains Professor Marc

36、el Quint, an agricultural scientist at MLU. Unstable plants bend faster in the rain and produce less food thats also less nutritious. Theres still lots to learn about plant reactions to temperatures. “We are just starting to understand how plants feel the changes in temperature .,” Quint says. Earli

37、er studies have shown that the protein (蛋白质) PIF4 directly controls plant growth and is also dependent on temperature. When its cold, PIF4 is less active, meaning the plant doesnt grow. At higher temperatures, PIF4 activates growth-promoting genes, and the plant grows taller. This is new information

38、, says Quint. To understand it, they studied the growth of thale cress (拟南芥) seedlings. Normally, its seedlings form short stems at 20. These stems become much longer at 28. They discovered a hormone (荷尔蒙) that activates the PIF4 at high temperatures, thus producing the protein. The findings may hel
