Overexpression of BcHsfA1 transcription factor from Brassica campestris improved heat tolerance of transgenic tobacco.

Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are a type of conserved molecular chaperone. They exist extensively in plants and greatly contribute to their survival under heat stress. The transcriptional regulation factor heat shock factor (HSF) is thought to regulate the expression of Hsps. In this study, a novel gen...
