摘要
Adaptation to the environment is essential for sessile organisms,such as plants,as they cannot move away from adverse conditions.Heat stress(HS)is one of the most serious environmental stresses in terms of its effect on crop growth and yield,especially in this era of global warming.Therefore,research on heat re-sponses and acclimation in plants is becoming increasingly important.Plants have evolved complex systems to respond to HS for their survival.In general,heat shock transcription factors(Hsfs)are involved in the acquisition of thermotolerance.
