Experience and memory of environmental stimuli that indicate future stress can prepare
(prime) organismic stress responses even in species lacking a nervous system. The process …

▪ Abstract Molecular chaperones, including the heat-shock proteins (Hsps), are a ubiquitous
feature of cells in which these proteins cope with stress-induced denaturation of other …

The majority of life on Earth—notably, microbial life—occurs in places that do not receive
sunlight, with the habitats of the oceans being the largest of these reservoirs. Sunlight …

Plants as sessile organisms are exposed to persistently changing stress factors. The primary
stresses such as drought, salinity, cold and hot temperatures and chemicals are …

The rising temperatures are resulting in heat stress for various agricultural crops to limit their
growth, metabolism, and leading to significant loss of yield potential worldwide. Heat stress …

Heat stress (HS) adversely affects plant growth and productivity. The Class A1 HS
transcription factors (HSFA1s) act as master regulators in the plant response to HS …

Members of the ferritin superfamily are multi-subunit cage-like proteins with a hollow interior
cavity. These proteins possess three distinct surfaces, ie interior and exterior surfaces of the …

Life on Earth is limited by physical and chemical extremes that define the 'habitable
space'within which it operates. Aside from its requirement for liquid water, no definite limits …

Heat stress is a major environmental constraint for crop production worldwide. To respond to
and cope with heat stress, plants synthesize heat shock proteins (HSPs), which are often …

Heat shock proteins (Hsps) play an important role in plant stress tolerance. We previously
reported that expression of OsHsp17. 0 and OsHsp23. 7 could be enhanced by heat shock …
