How protein-making control affects daily gene activity in Arabidopsis plants

AI simplified

Abstract

Translational regulation is involved in about 71% of the genes that show diel changes in mRNA abundance or translational activity.

  • Diel genes are crucial for plants to adapt to the day/night cycle and influence processes like photosynthesis and stress responses.
  • The expression of these genes is regulated by both the circadian clock and environmental factors such as light and temperature.
  • Translational regulation plays a significant role in the expression of glycosylation and ion-transporter-related genes.
  • Some diel genes may be regulated by upstream open-reading frames, indicating a complex layer of control.
  • A comprehensive analysis was conducted using Ribo-seq and RNA-seq on Arabidopsis shoots under a 12 h light/dark cycle.
