Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are a large family of chaperones that are involved in protein
folding and maturation of a variety of “client” proteins protecting them from degradation …

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 …

Heat shock factors (HSFs) are essential for all organisms to survive exposures to acute
stress. They are best known as inducible transcriptional regulators of genes encoding …
