The Heat-Shock Response in Rice Seedlings: Isolation and Expression of cDNAs That Encode Class I Low-Molecular-Weight Heat-Shock Proteins

摘要

Two full-length cDNA clones, pTS1 and pTS3, specific for heat-shock proteins were isolated from a rice cDNA library. Both encoded 16 to 20 kDa class I heat-shock proteins. Heavy-metal stress, in addition to heat stress, increased the levels of the corresponding mRNAs.
