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 …

Ambient temperatures are predicted to rise in the future owing to several reasons associated
with global climate changes. These temperature increases can result in heat stress-a severe …

Plants respond to various stresses by triggering the expression of genes that encode
proteins involved in plant growth, fruit ripening, cellular protein homeostasis, and tolerance …

Abstract Background Heat shock proteins (Hsps) are essential components in plant
tolerance mechanism under various abiotic stresses. Hsp20 is the major family of heat shock …

Rising global temperatures due to climate change are affecting crop performance in several
regions of the world. High temperatures affect plants at various organizational levels …

Drought is a major limiting factor of crop yields. In response to drought, plants reprogram
their gene expression, which ultimately regulates a multitude of biochemical and …

Genome–environment associations (GEAs) are a powerful strategy for the study of adaptive
traits in wild plant populations, yet they still lack behind in the use of modern statistical …

Plant basic/helix–loop–helix (bHLH) transcription factors participate in a number of
biological processes, such as growth, development and abiotic stress responses. The bHLH …

Abstract Small Heat Shock Proteins (sHSPs)/HSP20 are molecular chaperones that protect
plants by preventing protein aggregation during abiotic stress conditions, especially heat …

Heat shock proteins (HSPs) function as molecular chaperones. These proteins are encoded
by a multigene family whose members play crucial roles in plant growth, development and …
