Thermoprimed five-day-old rice seedlings show a restrained, lower-entropy transcriptional response to severe heat stress, driven by fewer transcription factors and regulon control.
- Why it matters: Heat-stress memory in crops is poorly understood, limiting strategies to improve tolerance to climate-driven heat extremes.
- What they did: Rice seedlings were phenotyped and profiled with time-resolved transcriptomics and epigenomics, then tested with targeted molecular experiments to link regulatory programs to stress outcomes.
- The result: Primed seedlings retained global H3K27me3 levels and accumulated memory chaperone transcripts, enabling a rapid protein abundance rise under severe stress.
