The <em>Opuntia streptacantha</em> <em>OpsHSP18 </em>Gene Confers Salt and Osmotic Stress Tolerance in <em>Arabidopsis thaliana</em>

The <em>Opuntia streptacantha</em> <em>OpsHSP18 </em>Gene Confers Salt and Osmotic Stress Tolerance in <em>Arabidopsis thaliana</em>

Abiotic stress limits seed germination, plant growth, flowering and fruit quality, causing economic decrease. Small Heat Shock Proteins (sHSPs) are chaperons with roles in stress tolerance. Herein, we report the functional characterization of a cytosolic class CI sHSP (OpsHSP18) from <em&...
