摘要： The plant vascular system is an elaborate network of conducting and supporting tissues that extends throughout the plant body, and its structure and function must be orchestrated with different environmental conditions. Under high temperature, plants display thin and lodging stems that may lead to decreased yield and quality of crops. However, the molecular mechanism underlying high-temperature-mediated regulation of vascular development is not known. Here, we show that Arabidopsis plants overexpressing the basic -he-lix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor PHYTOCHROME INTERACTING FACTOR 4 (PIF4), a central regu-lator of high-temperature signaling, display fewer vascular bundles (VBs) and decreased secondary cell wall (SCW) thickening, mimicking the lodging inflorescence stems of high-temperature-grown wild-type plants. Rising temperature and elevated PIF4 expression reduced the expression of MIR166 and, concomi-tantly, elevated the expression of the downstream class III homeodomain leucine-zipper (HD-ZIP III) family gene HB15. Consistently, knockdown of miR166 and overexpression of HB15 led to inhibition of vascular development and SCW formation, whereas the hb15 mutant displayed the opposite phenotype in response to high temperature. Moreover, in vitro and in vivo assays verified that PIF4 binds to the promoters of several MIR166 genes and represses their expression. Our study establishes a direct functional link between PIF4 and the miR166-HB15 module in modulating vascular development and SCW thickening and consequently stem-lodging susceptibility at elevated temperatures.
