Genotype-related changes in stress protein synthesis induced by thermal stress during germination in Nicotiana tabacum
Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD, USA; North Carolina State University, Crop Science Department, Raleigh, NC, USA
Genotypes with superior tolerance to high germination temperatures are more likely to produce a uniformly germinated seedling stand. The induction of special stress proteins known as heat shock proteins in organisms exposed to supraoptimal...
