Recently global warming and increasing environmental temperature are discussed very frequently. Ambient temperature is an important factor regulating plant growth and global changes in temperature could significantly affect the yield of the agriculture. Our previous work revealed the role of plant hormones cytokinins in response to temperature and showed cytokinins as negative regulators of the thermomorphogenesis. Since gibberellins are known as positive regulators of the thermomorphogenesis this work was focused on their interaction in response to temperature in Arabidopsis thaliana. Analysis of the morphology of plant seedlings showed that the effect of cytokinins dominates over gibberellins in response to high temperature and is detectable soon after high-temperature treatment. Analysis of gene expression showed that cytokinins induce expression of gibberellin biosynthesis enzyme GA20ox1 and decrease the expression of gibberellin degradation enzyme GA2ox6. On the other hand, cytokinins have an inhibitory effect on the expression of the master regulator of thermomorphogenesis PIF4. Analysis of transgenic line overexpressing PIF4 suggests that cytokinins could affect the thermomorphogenesis by regulation of the PIF4 expression but this process is not the key mechanism of the regulation of the response to high temperature.
