Deserts are hostile environments to plant life due to exposure to abiotic stresses, including
high temperature, heat, high light, low water availability, and poor soil quality. Desert plants …

Rhizobacteria are central components of the plant microbiome and influence root
development and function. Desciphering how rhizobacteria contribute to plant performance …

Plants are constantly exposed to various abiotic and biotic stresses in nature. Abiotic
stresses such as extreme temperatures (heat, cold, and freezing), salinity, and drought are …

Bacterial blight caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) is one of the most
devastating diseases of rice. However, the molecular mechanism underpinning the Xoo …

Small heat shock proteins (sHsp) occur in all domains of life. By interacting with misfolded or
aggregated proteins these chaperones fulfill a protective role in cellular protein …

DnaJ proteins are essential co-chaperones involved in abiotic and biotic stress responses.
Arabidopsis AtDjA3 gene encodes a molecular co-chaperone of 420 amino acids, which …

Small heat shock proteins (sHSPs) are ubiquitous stress proteins proposed to act as ATP-
independent molecular chaperones to prevent irreversible aggregation of stress-labile …

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

Abstract Heat shock protein 20 (Hsp20) is a small molecule heat shock protein that plays an
important role in plant growth, development, and stress resistance. Little is known about the …

The small heat shock proteins (sHSPs) are important components in plant growth and
development, and stress response. However, a systematical understanding of the sHSP …
