Abstract

RNA thermometers offer straightforward, protein-independent methods to regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. In this context, Chung and colleagues have discovered a revolutionary RNA thermometer in the chloroplast genome of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. This will facilitate temperature-driven control of inducible transgene expression for biotechnology applications in plant and algal systems.
