Abstract

Cytosine methylation (m5C) exists at low but significant levels in eukaryotic mRNAs, but its biological functions remain elusive. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Tang et al. find that the RNA methyltransferase OsNSUN2 is required for heat tolerance in rice by enhancing translation of specific transcripts under heat stress.
