Scientists at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) in Freising, Germany, have discovered an alternative mode of promoting heat resistance in plants. They found the activity of the plant steroid hormone, brassinosteroid, which is regulated by the transcription factor BES1, can also stimulate the conserved heat shock response pathways through BES1. The authors showed BES1 is rapidly activated by heat stress and presents a model for heat shock response when BES1 cooperates with heat shock factors to promote protection against heat stress to ensure plant survival.
