Abstract excerpt
Heat shock transcription factors (Hsfs) play multifaceted roles in plant growth, development, and responses to environmental factors. However, their involvement in seed dormancy and germination processes has remained elusive. In this study, we identified a wheat class B Hsf gene, TaHsf-7A, with higher expression in strong-dormancy varieties compared to weak-dormancy varieties during seed imbibition. Specifically,...
