High temperature tolerance has been genetically engineered in plants mainly by over-
expressing the heat shock protein genes or indirectly by altering levels of heat shock …

Abstract Caseinolytic protease (Clp)/Hsp100 proteins are members of the AAA+ (ATPase
associated with a variety of cellular activities) family of proteins present in lower life forms …

Cold-induced changes of gene expression and metabolism are critical for plants to survive
freezing. Largely by changing gene expression, exposure to a period of non-freezing low …

Wild watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) is a xerophyte native to the Kalahari Desert, Africa. To
better understand the molecular mechanisms of drought resistance in this plant, we …

Interactions between heat shock (HS) factors (HSF s) and heat shock response elements
(HSE s) are important during the heat shock response (HSR) of flora and fauna. Moreover …

ClpB/Hsp100 proteins act as chaperones, mediating disaggregation of denatured proteins.
Recent work shows that apart from cytoplasm, these proteins are localized to nuclei …

High temperature response (HTR) or heat stress response (HSR) is a highly conserved
phenomenon, which involves complex networks among different crop species. Heat stress …

Being sessile in nature, plants experience stress due to constantly changing environmental
conditions such as drought, salt stress, exposure to chemicals along with highly variable …

Hsp100/Clp family of proteins has been characterized to appreciable details in Escherichia
coli, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and other such simpler biological species. In plants, yeast …

The perception of abiotic stress and signal transduction to switch on adaptive innate
responses are crucial steps in plant persistence under adverse environmental conditions …
