Temperature sensing is critical for the survival of living organisms.1 , 2 Thermosensitive transient receptor-potential (TRP) cation channels function as thermosensors in mammals.2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 In contrast to animals, land plants lack TRP genes.7 , 8 , 9 Previous patch-clamp studies in plant cells suggested the presence of ion channels whose activities are related to temperature, implying the presence of TRP-like channels.10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 However, the molecular entities of such temperature-sensitive ion channels were still unknown in land plants...
