Plants respond flexibly to changes in temperature. A new study shows that a small electrophilic, lipid-derived molecule protects both land plants and streptophyte algae from high temperature. This suggests that a mechanism of thermal signalling was present in the common ancestor of the land plants and streptophyte algae.

植物进化：一种古老的机制保护植物和藻类免受热胁迫

植物对温度变化灵活地做出反应。一项新的研究表明，一个小的亲电子脂质衍生分子可以保护陆地植物和链霉菌藻类免受高温侵害。这表明在陆地植物和链霉菌藻的共同祖先中存在热信号传导机制。
