Proteins that control small heat shock genes allows plants to deal with heat stress

"If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen," as the old saying goes. But for organisms that can't leave the proverbial kitchen when things get too hot, there's another way: researchers from Japan have discovered that plants can gain heat tolerance to better adapt to future heat stress, thanks to a particular mechanism for heat stress 'memory'.

How to beat the heat: Memory mechanism allows plants to adapt to heat stress

Researchers from Nara Institute of Science and Technology have found that plants adapt to heat stress via a specific memory mechanism. The JUMONJI family of proteins can control small heat shock genes, allowing plants to become heat tolerant for better adaptation to future heat stress. This research is applicable to a broad range of scientific fields and understanding this mechanism could contribute to maintaining the food supply under global warming conditions.

Two Siblings of Norway-based Uyghur Activist Sentenced to Jail in China s Xinjiang — Radio Free Asia

Photo courtesy of a family member Chinese authorities have sentenced the brother and sister of a prominent exiled Uyghur scholar and linguist to several years in jail in China’s Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR), government and police officials in the region told RFA last month. The confirmation of the sentence comes on the heels of an RFA report confirming that scholar Abduweli Ayup’s niece, Mihray Erkin, had died at the Yanbulaq internment camp while being investigated by state security police in Kashgar (in Chinese, Kashi) prefecture. Abduweli Ayup is the founder of Uyghur Hjelp, a Norway-based Uyghur advocacy and aid organization which maintains a list of detained Uyghur intellectuals.

UK hearings aim to assess alleged China genocide

An eight-member panel, chaired by the prominent British barrister Sir Geoffrey Nice, will hear from about 30 witnesses over four days of testimony. The hearings have no government backing and the panel s conclusions are not binding on ministers, but the organisers say they hope the process will add to the body of evidence around the allegations against China.
