“…Stress response processes were also identified as being important in the CAAT and spaceflight-induced DEGs, including the GO terms 'response to heat' and 'protein folding'. Indeed, a number of heat shock proteins (HSPs) and chaperones [11,60,61] were found to have elevated expression in CAAT aged samples, and in space-flown samples, including HSP90-2-like, HSP90-1, class III HSP, JJJ1, and several DNAJ-related transcripts ( Figure 5) and other HSPs (Supplementary Data File). For example, HSP90-1 expression was increased by 53%, 74%, and 38% in CAAT treated Earth-WS, Earth, and Space seeds, respectively.…”
