Plants display remarkable developmental flexibility as they continuously sense and respond to changes in their environment. This flexibility allows them to select the optimal timing for critical developmental decisions such as when to flower. Ambient temperature is a major environmental factor that influences flowering; the mechanisms involved in ambient temperature‐responsive flowering have attracted particular attention as a consequence of the effects of global climate change on temperature. PHYTOCHROME INTERACTING FACTOR 4 and alternative splicing of FLOWERING LOCUS M affect temperature‐responsive flowering; however, the exact temperature‐sensing mechanism in plants remains elusive. Further study of these molecular mechanisms will contribute to our understanding of how plants sense ambient temperature and respond via diverse biological signaling cascades.

通过环境温度调节开花时间：抑制阻遏物并激活活化剂

当植物不断感知并响应环境变化时，它们显示出非凡的发展灵活性。这种灵活性使他们能够为关键的发展决策（例如何时开花）选择最佳时机。环境温度是影响开花的主要环境因素。由于全球气候变化对温度的影响，与环境温度相关的开花所涉及的机制引起了人们的特别关注。植物光敏素相互作用因子4和选择性剪接FLOWERING轨迹m影响温度响应性开花；然而，植物中确切的温度​​感应机制仍然难以捉摸。对这些分子机制的进一步研究将有助于我们了解植物如何感测环境温度并通过各种生物信号级联反应。
