potato plants ( Ahn and Zimmerman, 2006 ) overexpressing Hsp17.7 exhibit enhanced tolerance to heat stress. Transgenic E. coli containing and expressing an Hsp17.7 gene in a bacterial plasmid vector exhibit improved cell viability and soluble protein

, KO, and SL) grown in 7.8-L pots were subjected to control or high temperature stress conditions in the greenhouse. Control plants were kept under ambient conditions and plants to be heat stressed were moved to the adjacent greenhouse where stress
important role in ameliorating heat stress and water stress by reducing solar radiation, and as a result reducing leaf temperature and leaf transpiration through a decrease in evaporative demand between leaves and the surrounding air. Postharvest fruit
Drought and heat stress are two major environmental constraints limiting the growth of cool-season plant species and simultaneous drought and heat can be more detrimental than either stress alone ( Albert et al., 2011 ; Jiang and Huang, 2001a
Heat stress affects the phenotype of plants, causing leaf etiolation and wilting, and alters the anatomy, physiology, and photosynthetic capability of plants ( SzymaĆska et al., 2017 ). High-temperature conditions can potentially cause the
