Crop yield has been greatly enhanced during the last century. However, most elite cultivars
are adapted to temperate climates and are not well suited to more stressful conditions. In the …

Abiotic stresses usually cause protein dysfunction. Maintaining proteins in their functional
conformations and preventing the aggregation of non-native proteins are particularly …

Abiotic stresses restrict plant growth and development, and reduce harvest index of many
crop species worldwide. Maintenance of native conformation of proteins and reducing the …

Key message Plant heat stress response is a multi-factorial trait that is precisely regulated by
the complex web of transcription factors from various families that modulate heat stress …

Plants have evolved a variety of responses to elevated temperatures that minimize damage
and ensure protection of cellular homeostasis. New information about the structure and …

Cell survival under high temperature conditions involves the activation of heat stress
response (HSR), which in principle is highly conserved among different organisms, but …

Background The heat shock response of Arabidopsis thaliana is dependent upon a complex
regulatory network involving twenty-one known transcription factors and four heat shock …

Heat stress is a major abiotic stress limiting plant growth and productivity in many areas of
the world. Understanding mechanisms of plant adaptation to heat stress would facilitate the …

Heat stress events are major factors limiting crop productivity. During summer days, land
plants must anticipate in a timely manner upcoming mild and severe temperature. They …

Due to the present scenario of climate change, plants have to evolve strategies to survive
and perform under a plethora of biotic and abiotic stresses, which restrict plant productivity …
