Plants counter an array of stresses by generation of a group of stress-related proteins, often
referred to as the chaperones. Expression of these chaperones is induced in response to …

In nature, plants are challenged by various kinds of biotic and abiotic stresses. The different
kinds of abiotic stress mainly include intense light, high temperature, drought, salinity …

Abiotic stresses such as high temperature, excessive cold, flood, salinity, and drought
disturb the normal growth and production which aggravate morphological, physiological …

Abiotic stresses adversely affect the growth and productivity and elicit a series of
morphological, physiological, biochemical, and molecular changes in plants. Drought …

Abiotic stresses usually cause protein dysfunction. Maintaining proteins in their functional
conformations and preventing the aggregation of non-native proteins are particularly …

In 1962, the pioneering work of Ritossa led to one of the most important discoveries in
modern cell biology. After a serendipitous increase in the temperature of the incubator with …

Protein folding in vivo is mediated by an array of proteins that act either as 'foldases' or
'molecular chaperones'. Foldases include protein disulfide isomerase and peptidyl prolyl …

Any cellular function is based upon the proper function of native proteins. However, protein
function requires a specific 3D structure. Establishing the correct three-dimensional …

The multiplicity of environmental and physiological stresses experienced by all organisms
presents a formidable challenge to survival. Encounters with near-lethal temperature …

The Hsp70 molecular chaperones of plants are encoded by a multi‐gene family whose
members are developmentally regulated and differentially expressed in response to …
