m6A RNA methylation attenuates thermotolerance in Arabidopsis

Kirti Shekhawat, Arsheed Hussain Sheikh, Kashif Nawaz, Anam Fatima, Waad Alzayed, Arun N. Prasanna, Heribert Hirt A

This study shows that m6A RNA methylation reduces thermotolerance in Arabidopsis by suppressing heat-responsive genes, while its loss increases heat stress resilience through enhanced mRNA stability and chromatin modifications.
