As sessile organisms, plants are exposed to persistently changing stresses and have to be
able to interpret and respond to them. The stresses, drought, salinity, chemicals, cold and …

Plant growth is affected by various abiotic stresses, including water, temperature, light, salt,
and heavy metals. Selenium (Se) is not an essential nutrient for plants but plays important …

Hsp90 is a dimeric molecular chaperone required for the activation and stabilization of
numerous client proteins many of which are involved in essential cellular processes like …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) have repeatedly been demonstrated to alleviate heavy
metal stress of plants. The current manuscript summarizes results obtained to date on the …

The NOD-like receptors (NLR) are a family of intracellular sensors of microbial motifs and
'danger signals' that have emerged as being crucial components of the innate immune …

Heat stress transcription factors (Hsfs) regulate gene expression in response to
environmental stress. The Hsf network in plants is controlled at the transcriptional level by …

The family of mammalian Nod-like receptors (NLRs) consists of critical intracellular immune
proteins structurally related to plant resistance proteins. The NLRs NALP3 and IPAF, for …

Hsp90 is a highly abundant and ubiquitous molecular chaperone which plays an essential
role in many cellular processes including cell cycle control, cell survival, hormone and other …

Most protein mutations, and mutations that alter protein functions in particular, undermine
stability and are therefore deleterious. Chaperones, or heat-shock proteins, are often …

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 …
