Our genome-wide transcriptome analysis revealed that evening-phased COR27 and COR28 mainly repress the transcription of clockassociated evening genes PRRS, ELF4 and cold-responsive genes. Chromatin immunoprecipitation indicated that CCAI is recruited to the site containing EE elements of COR27 and COR28 promoters in a temperaturedependent way. Further genetic analysis shows COR28 is essential for the circadian function of PRR9 and PRRT. Together, our results support a role of COR27 and COR28 as nighttime repressors integrating circadian clock and plant cold stress responses.展开更多
