Abstract:Small heat shock proteins (sHSPs), the intra cellular chaperons respond to high temperatures and other stresses, are expressed under the control of the heat shock factors, which recognize highly conserved cis-regulatory elements (CREs). The present study was designed to identify and compare nine different sHSP gene promoters from rice on the basis of their location on chromosomes, sequence similarities, evolutionary relationship and putative binding sites of transcription factors. Additionally, they were analy… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
