Fig. 1. A model of molecular basis of temperature sensitivity in plant immunity.
Dampening of plant immunity by elevated temperature is associated with reduced expression and/or activity of intracellular immune receptors (NLRs) or the immune signal SA. Some NLRs are intrinsically temperature sensitive, and their nuclear accumulation and/or activities are reduced at elevated temperature. The reduced expression of the SA pathway genes, such as ICS1, EDS1 and PAD4, is caused by a decrease in their transcription factor CBP60g, whose transcription requires GDAC mediated by the temperature-sensitive GBPL3 to recruit MED and POL II. Heat-resilient resistance can be restored through constitutive expression of CBP60g whose translation is made pathogen-inducible by the inclusion of the uORFTBF1 5′ leader sequence in the transcript to minimize fitness cost.
