Abstract excerpt
Yeast cells show an adaptive response to a mild heat shock, resulting in thermotolerance acquisition. This is accompanied by induction of heat-shock protein (hsp) synthesis and rapid accumulation of trehalose. Genetic approaches to determine the specific role of trehalose in heat-induced thermotolerance in Saccharomyces cerevisiae have been hampered by the finding that deletion of TPS1, the gene encoding...
