Heat stress is considered to induce a wide range of physiological and biochemical changes
that cause severe damage to plant cell membrane, disrupt protein synthesis, and affect the …

The 70-kDa heat shock proteins (HSP70s) are a conserved class of chaperones that play
critical roles during the normal life cycle of plants. HSP70s are particularly involved in the …

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 …

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 …

Environmental stresses can alter the physiological mechanisms of plants by dysfunctioning
proteins which is a major consequence of less crop productivity. Heat stress (high …

In this era of increasing population, there is a high need to produce plants that are equipped
with high crop yield and biotic/abiotic stress tolerance. To acquire these properties, plants …

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

Climate change is resulting in heightened incidences of plant heat stress episodes.
Production of transgenic crops with enhanced heat stress tolerance is a highly desired …

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 …

Understanding the mechanisms responsible for plant tolerance under various abiotic
stresses is linked to understanding heat shock proteins (Hsps). The Hsp20 subfamily is the …
