Induction Temperature of Heat‐Shock Protein Synthesis in Wheat

The adverse effects of heat stress are a major limitation to realizing the genetic potential for productivity of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). This study was undertaken to characterize the temperature-dependent induction response of heat-shock protein (HSP) synthesis in wheat seedlings, and to determine if HSPs could be detected in flag leaves of flowering wheat plants at nonlethal temperatures similar to those encountered during agricultural production(.)
