keeping constant all agronomic factors except temperature is a way to follow heat shock proteins (hsps) expression. three different sunflower hybrids derived from the cross between an inbred line, cms ha 89, and three different restorer inbred lines, with resistance, susceptible, and normal reactions to drought, were produced. in order to investigate the impact of temperature on protein accumul...

Despite decades of intensive investigation, important questions remain regarding the functional, ecological, and evolutionary roles of heat shock proteins. In this paper, we discuss the utility of fish as a model system to address these questions, and review the relevant studies of heat shock protein genes and the regulation of their expression in fish. Although molecular studies of the heat sh...

The presence of acetic acid during industrial alcohol fermentation reduces the yield of fermentation by imposing additional stress on the yeast cells. The biology of cellular responses to stress has been a subject of vigorous investigations. Although much has been learned, details of some of these responses remain poorly understood. Members of heat shock chaperone HSP proteins have been linked ...

Here we further characterize a number of properties inherent to the thermotolerant cell. In the preceding paper, we showed that the acquisition of the thermotolerant state (by a prior induction of the heat-shock proteins) renders cells translationally tolerant to a subsequent severe heat-shock treatment and thereby results in faster kinetics of both the synthesis and subsequent repression of th...
