The α-crystallin-related, small heat shock proteins (smHSPs) are ubiquitous in nature, but
are unusually abundant and diverse in higher plants as opposed to other eukaryotes. The …

Abstract 70 kDa heat shock proteins (Hsp70s) act as molecular chaperones involved in
essential cellular processes such as protein folding and protein transport across …

Plants are sessile organisms, and their ability to adapt to stress is crucial for survival in
natural environments. Many observations suggest a relationship between stress tolerance …

Nearly a11 eukaryotes respond to high-temperature stress by producing HSPs, which are
required for survival at high temperatures (Parsell and Lindquist, 1993). Of the major gene …

The spatial and temporal distribution of expression of two cytosolic members of the AtHsp90
gene family was assessed during early development. In stressed transgenic plants bearing …

We cloned and characterized the full-length coding sequence of a small heat shock (sHSP)
gene, PfHSP17. 2, from Primula forrestii leaves following heat stress treatment. Homology …

Plant survival requires the ability to acclimate to heat. When plants are subjected to heat
shock, the expression of various genes is induced, and the plants become tolerant of higher …

Heat shock proteins 70 (HSP70s) belong to the key molecular chaperones. They are
expressed constitutively to keep the nascent protein in appropriate form before getting the …

Small heat shock proteins (sHsps) are molecular chaperones that protect cells from the
effect of heat and other stresses. Some sHsps are also expressed at specific stages of …

The hsp90‐based chaperone machinery is implicated in numerous cellular processes
including signal transduction, genomic silencing, and protein degradation. Hop is a …
