Under high temperature stress, a large number of proteins in plant cells will be denatured
and inactivated. Meanwhile Hsfs and Hsps will be quickly induced to remove denatured …

The important regulatory role of brassinosteroids (BRs) in the mechanisms of tolerance to
multiple stresses is well known. Growing data indicate that the phenomenon of BR-mediated …
