Abstract Key message Expression of OsHsfB2b was strongly induced by heat, salt, ABA and
PEG treatments. Drought and salt tolerances were significantly decreased by OsHsfB2b …

Heat shock proteins play an important role in plant stress tolerance and are mainly regulated
by heat shock transcription factors (Hsfs). In this study, we generated transgenic rice over …

Heat shock transcription factors (Hsfs) are important transcription factors (TFs) in protecting
plants from damages caused by various stresses. The released whole genome sequences …

Identification of central genes governing plant drought tolerance is fundamental to molecular
breeding and crop improvement. Here, maize transcription factor ZmHsf28 is identified as a …

Heat shock transcription factors (Hsfs) are a class of important transcription factors (TFs)
which play crucial roles in the protection of plants from damages caused by various abiotic …

Abstract Background Heat stress factors (Hsfs) play vital roles in signal transduction
pathways operating in responses to environmental stresses. However, Hsf gene family has …

Phosphate (Pi) availability has become a major constraint limiting crop growth and
production. Heat shock factors (Hsfs) play important roles in mediating plant resistance to …

Perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) is a cool-season forage and turf grass species
cultivated world-wide. Natural variations of stress tolerance of perennial ryegrass varieties …

Adaptation of crops to drought‐prone rain‐fed conditions can be achieved by improving
plant traits such as efficient water mining (by superior root characters) and cellular‐level …

Background Heat shock transcription factor (Hsfs) is widely found in eukaryotes and
prokaryotes. Hsfs can not only help organisms resist high temperature, but also participate in …
