Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: High temperatures can substantially reduce plant survival and reproduction, and therefore decrease crop productivity. Plants activate several pathways in response to high temperatures, including the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) unfolded protein response (UPR), the cytoplasmic heat stress response (HSR), and autophagy, which together aid in stress tolerance by refolding or degrading misfolded and...
