Abstract
Pod is an important organ for seed production in soybean. Pod size varies among soybean cultivars, but the mechanism is largely unknown. Here we reveal one of the factors for pod size regulation. We investigate pod size differences between two cultivars. The longer pod of 'Tachinagaha' is due to more cell number than in the short pod of 'Iyodaizu'. POD SIZE OF SOYBEAN 8 (GmPSS8), a member of the heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) family, is identified as a candidate gene for determining pod length in a major QTL for pod length. Expression of GmPSS8 in pods is higher in 'Tachinagaha' than 'Iyodaizu' and is highest in early pod development. The difference in expression is the result of an in/del polymorphism which includes an enhancer motif. Treatment with an HSP70 inhibitor reduces pod length and cell number in the pod. Additionally, shorter pods in Arabidopsis hsp70-1/-4 double mutant are rescued by overexpression of GmPSS8. Our results identify GmPSS8 as a target gene for pod length, which regulates cell number during early pod development through regulation of transcription in soybean. Our findings provide the mechanisms of pod development and suggest possible strategies enhancing yield potential in soybean.

The vascular targeted citrus FLOWERING LOCUS T3 gene promotes non-inductive early flowering in transgenic Carrizo rootstocks and grafted juvenile scions. Sci Rep 2020; 10:21404. [PMID: 33293614 PMCID: PMC7722890 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-78417-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2020] [Accepted: 11/24/2020] [Indexed: 12/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Shortening the juvenile stage in citrus and inducing early flowering has been the focus of several citrus genetic improvement programs. FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) is a small phloem-translocated protein that regulates precocious flowering. In this study, two populations of transgenic Carrizo citrange rootstocks expressing either Citrus clementina FT1 or FT3 genes under the control of the Arabidopsis thaliana phloem specific SUCROSE SYNTHASE 2 (AtSUC2) promoter were developed. The transgenic plants were morphologically similar to the non-transgenic controls (non-transgenic Carrizo citrange), however, only AtSUC2-CcFT3 was capable of inducing precocious flowers. The transgenic lines produced flowers 16 months after transformation and flower buds appeared 30-40 days on juvenile immature scions grafted onto transgenic rootstock. Gene expression analysis revealed that the expression of SUPPRESSOR OF OVEREXPRESSION OF CONSTANS 1 (SOC1) and APETALA1 (AP1) were enhanced in the transgenics. Transcriptome profiling of a selected transgenic line showed the induction of genes in different groups including: genes from the flowering induction pathway, APETALA2/ETHYLENE RESPONSE FACTOR (AP2/ERF) family genes, and jasmonic acid (JA) pathway genes. Altogether, our results suggested that ectopic expression of CcFT3 in phloem tissues of Carrizo citrange triggered the expression of several genes to mediate early flowering.

Abstract
Single-base cytosine methylation analysis across fruits of Capsicum annuum, C. chinense and C. frutescens showed global average methylation ranging from 82.8-89.1%, 77.6-83.9%, and 22.4-25% at CG, CHG and CHH contexts, respectively. High gene-body methylation at CG and CHG was observed across Capsicum species. The C. annuum showed the highest proportion (>80%) of mCs at different genomic regions compared to C. chinense and C. frutescens. Cytosine methylation for transposable-elements were lower in C. frutescens compared to C. annuum and C. chinense. A total of 510,165 CG, 583112 CHG and 277,897 CHH DMRs were identified across three Capsicum species. The differentially methylated regions (DMRs) distribution analysis revealed C. frutescens as more hypo-methylated compared to C. annuum and C. chinense, and also the presence of more intergenic DMRs in Capsicum genome. At CG and CHG context, gene expression and promoter methylation showed inverse correlations. Furthermore, the observed correlation between methylation and expression of genes suggested the potential role of methylation in Capsicum fruit development/ripening.

PLANTA 2019; 250:2127-2145. [PMID: 31606756 DOI: 10.1007/s00425-019-03290-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/01/2019] [Accepted: 09/26/2019] [Indexed: 05/24/2023]
Abstract
HSP60 gene family in pepper was analyzed through bioinformatics along with transcriptional regulation against multiple abiotic and hormonal stresses. Furthermore, the knockdown of CaHSP60-6 increased sensitivity to heat stress. The 60 kDa heat shock protein (HSP60) also known as chaperonin (cpn60) is encoded by multi-gene family that plays an important role in plant growth, development and in stress response as a molecular chaperone. However, little is known about the HSP60 gene family in pepper (Capsicum annuum L.). In this study, 16 putative pepper HSP60 genes were identified through bioinformatic tools. The phylogenetic tree revealed that eight of the pepper HSP60 genes (50%) clustered into group I, three (19%) into group II, and five (31%) into group III. Twelve (75%) CaHSP60 genes have more than 10 introns, while only a single gene contained no introns. Chromosomal mapping revealed that the tandem and segmental duplication events occurred in the process of evolution. Gene ontology enrichment analysis predicted that CaHSP60 genes were responsible for protein folding and refolding in an ATP-dependent manner in response to various stresses in the biological processes category. Multiple stress-related cis-regulatory elements were found in the promoter region of these CaHSP60 genes, which indicated that these genes were regulated in response to multiple stresses. Tissue-specific expression was studied under normal conditions and induced under 2 h of heat stress measured by RNA-Seq data and qRT-PCR in different tissues (roots, stems, leaves, and flowers). The data implied that HSP60 genes play a crucial role in pepper growth, development, and stress responses. Fifteen (93%) CaHSP60 genes were induced in both, thermo-sensitive B6 and thermo-tolerant R9 lines under heat treatment. The relative expression of nine representative CaHSP60 genes in response to other abiotic stresses (cold, NaCl, and mannitol) and hormonal applications [ABA, methyl jasmonate (MeJA), and salicylic acid (SA)] was also evaluated. Knockdown of CaHSP60-6 increased the sensitivity to heat shock treatment as documented by a higher relative electrolyte leakage, lipid peroxidation, and reactive oxygen species accumulation in silenced pepper plants along with a substantial lower chlorophyll content and antioxidant enzyme activity. These results suggested that HSP60 might act as a positive regulator in pepper defense against heat and other abiotic stresses. Our results provide a basis for further functional analysis of HSP60 genes in pepper.

Abstract
Tomato is one of vegetables crops that has the highest value in the world. Thus, researchers are continually improving the agronomical traits of tomato fruits. Auxins and gibberellins regulate plant growth and development. Aux/indole-3-acetic acid 9 (SlIAA9) and the gene encoding the DELLA protein (SlDELLA) are well-known genes that regulate plant growth and development, including fruit set and enlargement by cell division and cell expansion. The absence of tomato SlIAA9 and SlDELLA results in abnormal shoot growth and leaf shape and giving rise to parthenocarpy. To investigate the key regulators that exist up- or downstream of SlIAA9 and SlDELLA signaling pathways for tomato growth and development, we performed gene co-expression network analysis by using publicly available microarray data to extract genes that are directly connected to the SlIAA9 and SlDELLA nodes, respectively. Consequently, we chose a gene in the group of heat-shock protein (HSP)70s that was connected with the SlIAA9 node and SlDELLA node in each co-expression network. To validate the extent of effect of SlHSP70-1 on tomato growth and development, overexpressing lines of the target gene were generated. We found that overexpression of the targeted SlHSP70-1 resulted in internode elongation, but the overexpressing lines did not show abnormal leaf shape, fruit set, or fruit size when compared with that of the wild type. Our study suggests that the targeted SlHSP70-1 is likely to function in shoot growth, like SlIAA9 and SlDELLA, but it does not contribute to parthenocarpy as well as fruit set. Our study also shows that only a single SlHSP70 out of 25 homologous genes could change the shoot length.

Abstract
In flowering plants, anther development plays crucial role in sexual reproduction. Within the anther, microspore mother cells meiosis produces microspores, which further develop into pollen grains that play decisive role in plant reproduction. Previous studies on anther biology mainly focused on single gene functions relying on genetic and molecular methods. Recently, anther development has been expanded from multiple OMICS approaches like transcriptomics, proteomics/phosphoproteomics, and metabolomics. The development of proteomics techniques allowing increased proteome coverage and quantitative measurements of proteins which can characterize proteomes and their modulation during normal development, biotic and abiotic stresses in anther development. In this review, we summarize the achievements of proteomics and phosphoproteomics with anther and pollen organs from model plant and crop species (i.e. Arabidopsis, rice, tobacco). The increased proteomic information facilitated translation of information from the models to crops and thus aid in agricultural improvement.

Abstract
Solanaceae is one of the major economically important families of higher plants and has played a central role in human nutrition since the dawn of human civilization. Therefore, researchers have always been interested in understanding the complex behavior of Solanaceae members to identify key transcripts, proteins or metabolites, which are potentially associated with major traits. Proteomics studies have contributed significantly to understanding the physiology of Solanaceae members. A compilation of all the published reports showed that both gel-based (75%) and gel-free (25%) proteomic technologies have been utilized to establish the proteomes of different tissues, organs, and organelles under normal and adverse environmental conditions. Among the Solanaceae members, most of the research has been focused on tomato (42%) followed by potato (28%) and tobacco (20%), owing to their economic importance. This review comprehensively covers the progress made so far in the field of Solanaceae proteomics including novel methods developed to isolate the proteins from different tissues. Moreover, key proteins presented in this review can serve as a resource to select potential targets for crop improvement. We envisage that information presented in this review would enable us to design the stress tolerant plants with enhanced yields.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The floral transition plays a vital role in the life of ornamental plants. Despite progress in model plants, the molecular mechanisms of flowering regulation remain unknown in perennial plants. Rosa chinensis 'Old Blush' is a unique plant that can flower continuously year-round. In this study, gene expression profiles associated with the flowering transition were comprehensively analyzed during floral transition in the rose. RESULTS According to the transcriptomic profiles, 85,663 unigenes and 1,637 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified, among which 32 unigenes were involved in the circadian clock, sugar metabolism, hormone, and autonomous pathways. A hypothetical model for the regulation of floral transition was proposed in which the candidate genes function synergistically the floral transition process. Hormone contents and biosynthesis and metabolism genes fluctuated during the rose floral transition process. Gibberellins (GAs) inhibited rose floral transition, the content of GAs gradually decreased and GA2ox and SCL13 were upregulated from vegetative (VM) meristem to floral meristem (FM). Auxin plays an affirmative part in mediating floral transition, auxin content and auxin-related gene expression levels were gradually upregulated during the floral transition of the rose. However, ABA content and ABA signal genes were gradually downregulated, suggesting that ABA passively regulates the rose floral transition by participating in sugar signaling. Furthermore, sugar content and sugar metabolism genes increased during floral transition in the rose, which may be a further florigenic signal that activates floral transition. Additionally, FRI, FY, DRM1, ELIP, COP1, CO, and COL16 are involved in the circadian clock and autonomous pathway, respectively, and they play a positively activating role in regulating floral transition. Overall, physiological changes associated with genes involved in the circadian clock or autonomous pathway collectively regulated the rose floral transition. CONCLUSIONS Our results summarize a valuable collective of gene expression profiles characterizing the rose floral transition. The DEGs are candidates for functional analyses of genes affecting the floral transition in the rose, which is a precious resource that reveals the molecular mechanism of mediating floral transition in other perennial plants.

Abstract
Hsp70s function as molecular chaperones and are encoded by a multi-gene family whose members play a crucial role in plant response to stress conditions, and in plant growth and development. Pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) is an important vegetable crop whose genome has been sequenced. Nonetheless, no overall analysis of the Hsp70 gene family is reported in this crop plant to date. To assess the functionality of Capsicum annuum Hsp70 (CaHsp70) genes, pepper genome database was analyzed in this research. A total of 21 CaHsp70 genes were identified and their characteristics were also described. The promoter and transcript expression analysis revealed that CaHsp70s were involved in pepper growth and development, and heat stress response. Ectopic expression of a cytosolic gene, CaHsp70-2, regulated expression of stress-related genes and conferred increased thermotolerance in transgenic Arabidopsis. Taken together, our results provide the basis for further studied to dissect CaHsp70s' function in response to heat stress as well as other environmental stresses.

Abstract
Pollen development and stress. In angiosperms, pollen or pollen grain (male gametophyte) is a highly reduced two- or three-cell structure which plays a decisive role in plant reproduction. Male gametophyte development takes place in anther locules where diploid sporophytic cells undergo meiotic division followed by two consecutive mitotic processes. A desiccated and metabolically quiescent form of mature pollen is released from the anther which lands on the stigma. Pollen tube growth takes place followed by double fertilization. Apart from its importance in sexual reproduction, pollen is also an interesting model system which integrates fundamental cellular processes like cell division, differentiation, fate determination, polar establishment, cell to cell recognition and communication. Recently, pollen functionality has been studied by multidisciplinary approaches which also include OMICS analyses like transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics. Here, we review recent advances in proteomics of pollen development and propose the process of developmental priming playing a key role to guard highly sensitive developmental processes.

Characterization of CaHsp70-1, a pepper heat-shock protein gene in response to heat stress and some regulation exogenous substances in Capsicum annuum L. Int J Mol Sci 2014; 15:19741-59.

Abstract
Pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) is sensitive to heat stress (HS). Heat shock proteins 70 (Hsp70s) play a crucial role in protecting plant cells against HS and control varies characters in different plants. However, CaHsp70-1 gene was not well characterized in pepper. In this study, CaHsp70-1 was cloned from the pepper thermotolerant line R9, which encoded a protein of 652 amino acids, with a molecular weight of 71.54 kDa and an isoelectric point of 5.20. CaHsp70-1 belongs to the cytosolic Hsp70 subgroup, and best matched with tomato SlHsp70. CaHsp70-1 was highly induced in root, stem, leaf and flower in R9 with HS treatment (40 °C for 2 h). In both thermosensitive line B6 and thermotolerant line R9, CaHsp70-1 significantly increased after 0.5 h of HS (40 °C), and maintained in a higher level after 4 h HS. The expression of CaHsp70-1 induced by CaCl2, H2O2 and putrescine (Put) under HS were difference between B6 and R9 lines. The different expression patterns may be related to the differences in promoters of CaHsp70-1 from the two lines. These results suggest that CaHsp70-1 as a member of cytosolic Hsp70 subgroup, may be involved in HS defense response via a signal transduction pathway contained Ca2+, H2O2 and Put.

Abstract
Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is a model plant for studying fleshy fruit development. Several genetic and molecular approaches have been developed to increase our knowledge about the physiological basis of fruit growth, but very few data are yet available at the proteomic level. The main stages of fruit development were first determined through the dynamics of fruit diameter and pericarp cell number. Then, total proteins were extracted from pericarp tissue at six relevant developmental stages and separated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Protein patterns were markedly different between stages. Proteins showing major variations were monitored. We identified 90 of 1,791 well-resolved spots either by matrix-assisted laser-desorption ionization time-of-flight peptide mass fingerprinting or liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry sequencing and expressed sequence tag database searching. Clustered correlation analysis results pointed out groups of proteins with similar expression profiles during fruit development. In young fruit, spots linked to amino acid metabolism or protein synthesis were mainly expressed during the cell division stage and down-regulated later. Some spots linked to cell division processes could be identified. During the cell expansion phase, spots linked to photosynthesis and proteins linked to cell wall formation transiently increased. In contrast, the major part of the spots related to C compounds and carbohydrate metabolism or oxidative processes were up-regulated during fruit development, showing an increase in spot intensity during development and maximal abundance in mature fruit. This was also the case for spots linked to stress responses and fruit senescence. We discuss protein variations, taking into account their potential role during fruit growth and comparing our results with already known variations at mRNA and metabolite-profiling levels.

Abstract
A stress treatment of 32 degrees C for at least 8h was able to change the gametophytic program of the microspore, switching it to embryogenesis in Brassica napus, an interesting model for studying this process in vitro. After induction, some microspores started symmetric divisions and became haploid embryos after a few days, whereas other microspores, not sensitive to induction, followed their original gametophytic development. In this work the distribution and ultrastructural localization of two heat-shock proteins (Hsp70 and Hsp90) throughout key stages before and after embryogenesis induction were studied. Both Hsp proteins are rapidly induced, localizing in the nucleus and the cytoplasm. Immunogold labeling showed changes in the distribution patterns of these proteins, these changes being assessed by a quantitative analysis. Inside the nucleus, Hsp70 was found in association with RNP structures in the interchromatin region and in the nucleolus, whereas nuclear Hsp90 was mostly found in the interchromatin region. For Hsp70, the accumulation after the inductive treatment was accompanied by a reversible translocation from the cytoplasm to the nucleus, in both induced (embryogenic) and noninduced (gametophytic) microspores. However, the translocation was higher in embryogenic microspores, suggesting a possible additional role for Hsp70 in the switch to embryogenesis. In contrast, Hsp90 increase was similar in all microspores, occurring faster than for Hsp70 and suggesting a more specific role for Hsp90 in the stress response. Hsp70 and Hsp90 colocalized in clusters in the cytoplasm and the nucleus, but not in the nucleolus. Results indicated that stress proteins are involved in the process of microspore embryogenesis induction. The differential appearance and distribution of the two proteins and their association at specific stages have been determined between the two systems coexisting in the same culture: embryogenic development (induced cells) and development of gametes (noninduced cells).

Abstract
We isolated cDNA clones for two nuclear-encoded, organellar members of the Arabidopsis hsp70 gene family, mtHsc70-2 (AF217458) and cpHsc70-2 (AF217459). Together with the completion of the genome sequence, the hsp70 family in Arabidopsis consists of 14 members unequally distributed among the five chromosomes. To establish detailed expression data of this gene family, a comprehensive reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction analysis for 11 hsp70s was conducted including analysis of organ-specific and developmental expression and expression in response to temperature extremes. All hsp70s showed 2- to 20-fold induction by heat shock treatment except cpHsc70-1 and mtHsc70-1, which were unchanged or repressed. The expression profiles in response to low temperature treatment were more diverse than those evoked by heat shock treatment. Both mitochondrial and all cytosolic members of the family except Hsp70b were strongly induced by low temperature, whereas endoplasmic reticulum and chloroplast members were not induced or were slightly repressed. Developmentally regulated expression of the heat-inducible Hsp70 in mature dry seed and roots in the absence of temperature stress suggests prominent roles in seed maturation and root growth for this member of the hsp70 family. This reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction analysis establishes the complex differential expression pattern for the hsp70s in Arabidopsis that portends specialized functions even among members localized to the same subcellular compartment.

We did in situ hybridization to identify the sites at which DnaJ homologs (SGJ1 and SGJ3) and Hsp70 were expressed in male and female flowers of the Japanese willow, Salix gilgiana Seemen. Transcripts of SGJ1, SGJ3, and Hsp70 were detected in microspores and in the tapetal layers of immature anthers, in the inner integument of ovules, and in the funicular epidermal layers of ovaries. Transcripts of SGJ3 and Hsp70 were also detected in the nectaries of male and female flowers, in which transcripts of SGJ1 were undetectable.

Abstract
Molecular chaperones, including the heat-shock proteins (Hsps), are a ubiquitous feature of cells in which these proteins cope with stress-induced denaturation of other proteins. Hsps have received the most attention in model organisms undergoing experimental stress in the laboratory, and the function of Hsps at the molecular and cellular level is becoming well understood in this context. A complementary focus is now emerging on the Hsps of both model and nonmodel organisms undergoing stress in nature, on the roles of Hsps in the stress physiology of whole multicellular eukaryotes and the tissues and organs they comprise, and on the ecological and evolutionary correlates of variation in Hsps and the genes that encode them. This focus discloses that (a) expression of Hsps can occur in nature, (b) all species have hsp genes but they vary in the patterns of their expression, (c) Hsp expression can be correlated with resistance to stress, and (d) species' thresholds for Hsp expression are correlated with levels of stress that they naturally undergo. These conclusions are now well established and may require little additional confirmation; many significant questions remain unanswered concerning both the mechanisms of Hsp-mediated stress tolerance at the organismal level and the evolutionary mechanisms that have diversified the hsp genes.

Abstract
The stress 70 molecular chaperones of plants are localized and function in all of the major subcellular compartments of the cell. Collectively, all of the various forms are encoded by a multigene family in the nucleus. At least 12 members of this family have been found, and sequence and DNA blot analyses provide an emerging description of the diversity of gene structure organization for this family of evolutionarily conserved proteins in spinach. They exhibit not only structural diversity in the organization of coding and noncoding regions but also distinct expression patterns for different tissues and abiotic conditions. The results of phylogenetic analyses are concordant with at least four major evolutionary events that gave rise to stress 70 molecular chaperones in each of four major subcellular compartments of plant cells: the plastid, mitochondrion, cytoplasm, and endoplasmic reticulum. The varied expression patterns also illustrate the complexity of effectively interpreting the role of any one of these stress-related proteins in response to abiotic stress in the absence of context to the other members of the family.

Abstract
A pea pod cDNA library was screened for sequences specific to lignifying tissue. A cDNA clone (pLP19) encoding the C-terminal region of a hsp70 heat shock protein hybridised only to pod mRNA from pea lines where pod lignification occurred. Expression of pLP19 was induced by heat shock in leaves, stems and roots of pea and chickpea plants. Four different poly(A) addition sites were observed in cDNAs derived from the same gene as pLP19. This gene was fully sequenced; unlike most hsp70 genes, it contains no introns. The 5'-flanking sequence contains heat shock elements and other potential regulatory sequences.

Abstract
Protein folding in vivo is mediated by an array of proteins that act either as 'foldases' or 'molecular chaperones'. Foldases include protein disulfide isomerase and peptidyl prolyl isomerase, which catalyze the rearrangement of disulfide bonds or isomerization of peptide bonds around Pro residues, respectively. Molecular chaperones are a diverse group of proteins, but they share the property that they bind substrate proteins that are in unstable, non-native structural states. The best understood chaperone systems are HSP70/DnaK and HSP60/GroE, but considerable data support a chaperone role for other proteins, including HSP100, HSP90, small HSPs and calnexin. Recent research indicates that many, if not all, cellular proteins interact with chaperones and/or foldases during their lifetime in the cell. Different chaperone and foldase systems are required for synthesis, targeting, maturation and degradation of proteins in all cellular compartments. Thus, these diverse proteins affect an exceptionally broad array of cellular processes required for both normal cell function and survival of stress conditions. This review summarizes our current understanding of how these proteins function in plants, with a major focus on those systems where the most detailed mechanistic data are available, or where features of the chaperone/foldase system or substrate proteins are unique to plants.

Abstract
The cellular localization of heat-shock proteins has been described in a number of experimental animal systems but is not well defined in plant systems. Sense and antisense RNA transcripts from the open reading frame (ORF) of 18-kDa maize heat-shock protein genes were employed in in situ hybridizations of inbred Oh43 radicles and plumules to reveal the locations of their mRNAs. Localization of the specific mRNAs to the younger meristematic cells of the root-tips and shoot-tips and also to the densely cytoplasmic cells of the vasculature was observed routinely. The ORF of one of our 18-kDa genes was cloned into an expression vector, and the 161-amino acid polypeptide was used to raise antibodies. Using a Fast Red procedure, the cellular positions of the heat-shock protein-antibody conjugates were observed in sections similar to those employed in the antisense RNA in situ hybridizations. The localization of the antibody appears to parallel closely the patterns of distribution of the mRNAs.

Abstract
Eukaryotes express several cytoplasmic HSP70 genes, and their encoded proteins participate in diverse cellular processes. Three cDNAs encoding highly expressed cytoplasmic HSP70 homologues from Pisum sativum were cloned and characterized. They were designated PsHSP71.2, PsHSC71.0, and PsHSP70b. These HSP70 genes have different expression profiles in leaves: PsHSP71.2 is observed only in response to heat stress, PsHSC71.0 is present constitutively, and PsHSP70b is weakly constitutively expressed, but induced strongly in response to heat stress. In addition to being heat induced, the PsHSP71.2 mRNA is also expressed in zygotic, but not maternal organs of developing pea seeds, while PsHSC71.0 and PsHSP70b mRNAs are present in maternal and zygotic organs throughout seed development. Immunoblot analysis of parallel protein samples detects a 70 kDa polypeptide in all samples, and a 72 kDa polypeptide that corresponds to the PsHSP71.2 gene product is observed in cotyledons beginning at mid-maturation and in axes beginning between late maturation and desiccation. This polypeptide is not detected in the seed coat. The 72 kDa polypeptide remains abundant in both cotyledons and axes through germination, but declines substantially between 48 and 72 h after the onset of inbibition. Differential control of HSP70 expression during heat stress, seed maturation, and germination is consistent with the hypothesis that there are functional distinctions between cytoplasmic HSP70s.

Abstract
Pollen of angiosperms lacks the ability to respond to heat stress by synthesizing heat shock proteins (hsps). In tomato developing microspores were found to have 70 kDa heat shock proteins (hsp70s) present throughout development, even in the absence of heat stress. Heat shock protein family members expressed in the absence of heat stress are called cognate (hsc70) genes. Antisense RNA and antibody probes were used for in situ hybridizations which detected hsc70 expression in developing pollen of immature buds. Hsc70 mRNA transcripts and proteins were detected in nonstressed sporogenous tissues, microspores and in pre-tapetal layers during early pollen development. While immunoblot analysis detected hsc70 proteins stored in mature pollen, heat stress could not induce the synthesis of new hsp70 protein as measured by 35S-methionine labeling followed by immunoprecipitation.

Abstract
A cDNA encoding a 70 kDa heat shock 'cognate' protein (hsc70) was isolated from Arabidopsis thaliana by using a rat hsc70 cDNA as probe. Sequence analysis demonstrated the conservation of functional domains and important amino acid residues among hsc70s in plants and animals. The expression of this gene was stress-inducible, and was found at a substantial level during normal growth in root, stem, leaf and flower tissues, but not in siliques. Multiple copies of this gene exist in the Arabidopsis genome.

Abstract
We isolated and sequenced Ha hsp17.9, a DNA complementary (cDNA) of dry-seed stored mRNA that encodes a low-molecular-weight heat-shock protein (LMW HSP). Sequence analysis identified Ha hsp17.9, and the previously reported Ha hsp17.6, as cDNAs encoding proteins (HSP17.6 and HSP17.9) which belong to different families of cytoplasmic LMW HSPs. Using specific antibodies we observed differential expression of both proteins during zygotic embryogenesis under controlled environment, and a remarkable persistence of these LMW HSPs during germination. Immuno-blot analysis of HSP17.9 proteins in two-dimensional gels revealed that the polypeptides expressed in embryos were indistinguishable from LMW HSPs expressed in vegetative tissues in response to water deficit; but they appeared different from homologous proteins expressed in response to thermal-stress. Tissue-print immunolocalization experiments showed that HSP17.9 and HSP17.6 were homogeneously distributed in every tissue of desiccation-tolerant dry seeds and young seedlings under non-stress conditions. These results demonstrate developmental regulation of specific, cytoplasmic, plant LMW HSPs, suggesting also their involvement in water-stress tolerance.

Abstract
In higher plants, within-species qualitative polymorphism for heat shock proteins (HSPs) is extremely rare, even between genotypes showing different heritable levels of thermotolerance. Here we have explored the amount of quantitative variability in HSP synthesis in maize. We have analyzed the quantitative expression of the typical HSPs in a set of recombinant inbreds (RIs) derived from the f1 hybrid between a thermotolerant (T232)- and a thermosensitive (CM37)-genotype, characterized for about 200 mapped RFLP loci. Significant differences were detected in the level of expression of five HSPs, and their frequency distribution in the RI population is that of a quantitative trait. Subsequent mapping of loci controlling the characters, based on RFLP analysis, confirmed the multigenic control of HSP expression: the regression analysis of the band intensities of each variant HSP on RFLPs revealed, for the different HSPs, a minimum number of three to eight quantitative trait loci (QTLs) accounting for a high proportion (0.35-0.60) of the genetic variability of these bands. An analysis of the correlation between the variability of HSPs and that of cellular membrane stability, a cellular component of thermotolerance, did not reveal any significant association of the two parameters.

Abstract
Organ-specific and constitutive expression of the Arabidopsis HSP18.2 gene under normal growth conditions (22 degrees C) was observed in transgenic A. thaliana, which carried a fusion gene composed of the promoter region of HSP18.2, one of the genes for low molecular weight heat-shock proteins in Arabidopsis, and the gene for beta-glucuronidase (GUS) from Escherichia coli. In order to clarify the organ-specific nature of promoter expression, various mutations that affect flower morphology were introduced into the transgenic Arabidopsis line, AHS9. The results show that the pattern of expression observed in sepals, filaments, and styles is regulated in a structure-dependent manner, and suggest that the HSP18.2 gene might have an important role in the process of differentiation of flower buds, as do several other stress-related genes.

Abstract
We have purified a 73 kDa protein from the cytosolic fraction of mung bean seeds. It comprises 0.5-1% of the total protein in seeds. This purified protein is a bona fide hsc70 on the basis of several lines of evidence. First, antibodies against bovine brain hsc70 cross-react with the purified 73 kDa protein. Second, the purified protein comigrates on two-dimensional gels with one of the heat-inducible hsc70s in mung bean seedlings. Third, similar to other hsc70 species, the purified 73 kDa protein has a high affinity for ATP. Finally, the hydrolysis of ATP by the purified protein can be stimulated by peptides; ATPase activity increases from 40 nmol/h to 165 nmol/h per mg of protein. The purified mung bean hsc70 autophosphorylates at a substoichiometric level. Moreover, the amount of this hsc70 species diminishes while new species of hsc70s appear after germination, suggesting that the expression of hsc70 in mung bean is subject to developmental regulation.

Abstract
We have isolated two genes from Zea mays encoding proteins of 82 and 81 kD that are highly homologous to the Drosophila 83-kD heat shock protein gene and have analyzed the structure and pattern of expression of these two genes during heat shock and development. Southern blot analysis and hybrid select translations indicate that the highly homologous hsp82 and hsp81 genes are members of a small multigene family composed of at least two and perhaps three or more gene family members. The deduced amino acid sequence of these proteins based on the nucleotide sequence of the coding regions shows 64-88% amino acid homology to other hsp90 family genes from human, yeast, Drosophila, and Arabidopsis. The promoter regions of both the hsp82 and hsp81 genes contain several heat shock elements (HSEs), which are putative binding sites for heat shock transcription factor (HSF) commonly found in the promoters of other heat shock genes. Gene-specific oligonucleotide probes were synthesized and used to examine the mRNA expression patterns of the hsp81 and hsp82 genes during heat shock, embryogenesis, and pollen development. The hsp81 gene is only mildly heat inducible in leaf tissue, but is strongly expressed in the absence of heat shock during the pre-meiotic and meiotic prophase stages of pollen development and in embryos, as well as in heat-shocked embryos and tassels. The hsp82 gene shows strong heat inducibility at heat-shock temperatures (37-42 degrees C) and in heat shocked embryos and tassels but is only weakly expressed in the absence of heat shock. Promoter-GUS reporter gene fusions made and analyzed by transient expression assays in Black Mexican Sweet (BMS) Maize protoplasts also indicate that the hsp82 and hsp81 are regulated differentially. The hsp82 promoter confers strong heat-inducible expression of the GUS reporter gene in heat-treated cells (60- to 80-fold over control levels), whereas the hsp81 promoter is only weakly heat inducible (5- to 10-fold over control levels).

Abstract
Heat-shock protein 80 (HSP80) is a major heat-shock protein induced in yeast and animals both by heat shock and by specific developmental events. In plants, a heat-shock-induced HSP80 cDNA has been described, although no information concerning developmental regulation of HSP80 genes is available. We have characterized a tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) gene encoding a typical HSP80 protein. This gene, called HSC80, is interrupted by two introns, 995 and 109 bp long. Northern blot analyses and in situ RNA hybridization show that HSC80 mRNA is abundant in shoot and root apices and in fertilized ovaries up to 6 d postanthesis but is rare in mature leaves. Heat shock increased mRNA levels in mature leaves but only 3-fold. Developmental regulation of the HSC80 gene was confirmed by fusing 2 kb of its 5' region to the beta-glucuronidase reporter gene and introducing the chimeric gene into tomatoes. The roots of transformants showed high beta-glucuronidase expression in the apex and in lateral root primordia but not in mature tissue. Expression in the shoot was up to 10-fold higher in the apex than in mature leaves. Thus, HSC80 is preferentially expressed in shoot and root apices during normal development.

Abstract
A cDNA clone, pCD7, was shown to hybrid-select from developing seeds of Pisum sativum L. an mRNA that translated into a polypeptide of apparent Mr 90 000. The translation product was observed only in the earliest stages of embryogenesis and was detected at a developmental stage when virtually all the cotyledon cells are mitotic. Sequence analysis of pCD7 showed it to correspond to a member of the 70 000-Mr heat-shock protein (HSP70) gene family. Transcripts corresponding to pCD7 were detected in different P. sativum organs, with roots apparently showing lower levels of pCD7-homologous RNA than other organs. Hybridizations to P. sativum DNA identified polymorphisms in the genomic DNA corresponding to pCD7 and the segregation of these in selected crosses indicated the existence of at least two genetic loci, one of which mapped to an existing linkage group.

Abstract
While it is apparent that the heat shock response is ubiquitous, variabilities in the nature of the heat shock response between closely related species have not been well characterized. The heat shock response of three genotypes of tomato, Lycopersicon esculentum, Lycopersicon pennellii, and the interspecific sexual hybrid was characterized. The two parental genotypes differed in the nature of the heat shock proteins synthesized; the speciesspecific heat shock proteins were identified following in vivo labeling of leaf tissue with [(35)S]methionine and cysteine. The duration of, and recovery from, heat shock varied between the two species: L. esculentum tissue recovered more rapidly and protein synthesis persisted longer during a heat shock than in the wild species, L. pennellii. Both species induced heat shock protein synthesis at 35 degrees C and synthesis was maximal at 37 degrees C. The response of the F1 to heat shock was intermediate to the parental responses for duration of, and recovery from, heat shock. In other aspects, the response of the F1 to heat shock was not intermediate to the parental responses: the F1 induced only half of the L. esculentum specific heat shock proteins, and all of the L. pennellii specific heat shock proteins. A discussion of the inheritance of the regulation of the heat shock response is presented.
