Background Heat shock transcriptional factors (Hsfs) play important roles in the processes of
biotic and abiotic stresses as well as in plant development. Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum …

Heat shock transcription factors (HSF) have been demonstrated to play a significant
transcriptional regulatory role in plants and considered as an integral part of signal …

Heat shock transcription factors (HSFs) can regulate plant development and stress
response. The comprehensive evolutionary history of the HSF family remains elusive in …

Heat shock 70 (HSP70) proteins are highly conserved molecular chaperones widely existed
in the plant kingdom which are involved in cellular protein folding process. In this study …

Functional genome research, including gene transcriptional and posttranslational
modifications of histones, can benefit greatly from a high-quality genome assembly. Histone …

Gossypium hirsutum L., is a widely cultivated cotton species around the world, but its
production is seriously threatened by its susceptibility to chilling stress. Low temperature …
