Plants and animals share similar mechanisms in the heat shock (HS) response, such as
synthesis of the conserved HS proteins (Hsps). However, because plants are confined to a …

Heat acclimation improves the tolerance of organisms to severe heat stress. Our previous
work showed that in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), the “memory” of heat acclimation …

The expression of heat shock proteins (Hsps) induced by nonlethal heat treatment confers
acquired thermotolerance (AT) to organisms against subsequent challenges of otherwise …

Heat-shock (HS) response is universal and many HS protein (Hsp) genes are highly
conserved in all organisms. Plants, being sessile, may require unique genes to tolerate …

Heat-shock proteins (HSPs) are a group of evolutionarily conserved polypeptides whose
expression is induced in all organisms in response to environmental stresses and during …

The heat stress (HS) response in eukaryotes is mainly regulated by heat shock factors
(HSFs). Genetic disruption of the master HSF gene leads to dramatically reduced HS …

Plants are sessile organisms, and their ability to adapt to stress is crucial for survival in
natural environments. Many observations suggest a relationship between stress tolerance …

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 …

Owing to their sessile lifestyle, it is crucial for plants to acquire stress tolerance. The function
of heat‐shock proteins, including small heat‐shock proteins (smHSPs), in stress tolerance is …

Hsp70s function as molecular chaperones. The protective chaperone activities of hsp70
help to confer tolerance to heat, glucose deprivation, and drought. Overexpression of …
