Heat Shock Proteins Functions And Response Against Heat Stress In Plants

Abstract Heat stress has significant effect on protein metabolism including degradation of proteins inhibition of protein accumulation and induction of certain protein synthesis. It also poses a serious damage to the growth and development of the plant. The ability of the plants to respond to this stress by maintaining protein in their functional conformation as well as preventing the accumulation of non-native proteins are highly important for the cell survival. Heat shock proteins are involved in signaling translation host-defence mechanisms carbohydrate metabolism and amino acid metabolism. In fact these proteins are now understood to mediate signaling translation host-defence mechanisms carbohydrate metabolism and amino acid metabolism by playing a significant function in controlling the genome and ultimately features that are obvious. Several reviews have reported the tolerance of plants to different abiotic stresses. The topic of enhancing protection mechanisms including HSPs to induce heat resistance is very interesting and research in this area has many repercussions for the understanding of heat stress response. However this review reports Heat Shock Proteins HSPs and their function research progress on the association of HSPs with plant tolerance to heat stress as well as the response of the HSPs under heat stress as an adaptive defence mechanism.
