Changes in both gene expression and intron retention tune the Arabidopsis thaliana heat shock response

Plant responses to high temperatures are critical for survival, yet acquired thermotolerance (AT) is limited to a tight temperature range. In Arabidopsis, 34 o C-37 o C induces AT while 40 o C does not. Analyzing RNA-seq data from seedlings acclimated between 37°C-40°C showed that while heat-induced genes are robustly...
