Abstract
Plants coordinate their growth and developmental programs with changes in temperature. This process is termed thermomorphogenesis. The underlying molecular mechanisms have begun to emerge in these nonstressful responses to adjustments in prevailing temperature. The circadian clock is an internal timekeeper that ensures growth, development, and fitness across a wide range of environmental conditions and it responds to thermal changes. Here, we highlight how the circadian clock gates thermoresponsive hypocotyl growth in plants, with an emphasis on different action mode of evening complex (EC) in thermomorphogenesis. We also discuss the biochemical and molecular mechanisms of EC in transducing temperature signals to the key integrator PIF4. This provides future perspectives on unanswered questions on EC-associated thermomorphogenesis.
