Plant reactions to stress vary with development stage and fitness. This study assessed the relationship between light and chilling stress in Arabidopsis acclimation. By analysing the transcriptome and proteome responses of expanding leaves subjected to varying light intensity and cold, 2251 and 2064 early response genes and proteins were identified, respectively. Many of these represent as a yet unknown part of the early response to cold, illustrating a development-dependent response to stress and duality in plant adaptations. While standard light promoted photosynthetic upregulation, plastid maintenance, and increased resilience, low light triggered a unique metabolic shift, prioritizing ribosome biogenesis and lipid metabolism and attenuating the expression of genes associated with plant immunity. The comparison of early response in young leaves with that in expanded ones showed striking differences, suggesting a sacrifice of expanded leaves to support young ones. Validations of selected DEGs in mutant background confirmed a role of HSP90-1, transcription factor FLZ13, and Phospholipase A1 (PLIP) in response to cold, and the PLIP family emerged as crucial in promoting acclimation and freezing stress tolerance. The findings highlight the dynamic mechanisms that enable plants to adapt to challenging environments and pave the way for the development of genetically modified crops with enhanced freezing tolerance.
