Increased sensitivity to elevated temperature occurs in Arabidopsis through amino acid changes in ELF3.
The Ser-364 to Pro mutation in elf3-16 alters gene expression patterns in varying temperatures.
Interactions between ELF3 and ELF4 are crucial for maintaining protein stability under temperature stress.
Findings emphasize the importance of amino acid-specific roles in thermoregulation of plants.
