Abstract
Evolution generates a vast repertoire of solutions enabling organisms to adapt to diverse environmental challenges. In plants, these solutions primarily manifest as reactive responses involving anatomical reconfigurations, biochemical adjustments, and physiological adaptations. Efficient responses require precise coordination across multiple cellular processes and reaction cascades. A critical evolutionary objective is to minimize the collateral effects associated with activating complex regulatory networks. To this end, nature evolves independent regulatory modules that decouple key stages of genetic information processing. This modularity underpins the diversity of regulatory mechanisms and patterns observed in cells. Here, we present an investigation of how tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) plants respond to low-temperature stress. By analyzing gene expression profiles at the transcriptional and translational levels, we aim to elucidate the coordination and decoupling of these processes during stress responses.
