Abstract excerpt
MAIN CONCLUSION: Silencing of CI-sHsps by RNAi negatively affected the seed germination process and heat stress response of rice seedlings. Seed size of RNAiCI-sHsp was reduced as compared to wild-type plants. Small heat shock proteins (sHsps) are the ATP-independent chaperones ubiquitously expressed in response to diverse environmental and developmental cues. Cytosolic sHsps constitute the major repertoire of...
