FER and LecRK show haplotype-dependent cold-responsiveness and mediate freezing tolerance in Lotus japonicus

Plant Physiology.

MeSH headings : Lotus / metabolism; Haplotypes / genetics; Freezing; Acclimatization / genetics; Adaptation, Physiological / genetics; Gene Expression Regulation, Plant
TL;DR: This work suggests that recruiting a conserved growth regulator gene, FER, and a receptor-like kinase gene, LecRK, into the set of cold-responsive genes has contributed to freezing tolerance and local climate adaptation in L. japonicus, offering functional genetic insight into perennial herb evolution.
