Description

Heat-shock proteins in wheat seedling were studied by 35S-methionine. Results showed that 34 degree C was the most effective inducing temperature for HSPs in wheat. More than 10 different HSPs had been observed at this temperature, among them 70,54,26,15∼17 kD were significant in quantity. The amount of HSPs induced by a 4h treatment at 34 degree dot reached the peak. HSPs synthesized at 34 degree dot disappeared after shift of seedlings to 22 degree dot. The synthesis of HSPs was responsible for the acquisition of thermo-tolerance for seedling to survive otherwise lethal temperature
