Molecular Mechanism of Heat Stress Tolerance in Plants:A Review
With the increase of global temperature,heat stress has emerged as one of the major factors affecting plant growth and development.The substantial losses caused by heat,particularly for staple crops like rice,pose a significant impact on economic benefits.In order to unravel the molecular mechanisms underlying plant response to heat stress,the adverse effects of heat stress on the morphology,physiology,biochemistry and photosynthesis have been presented.Furthermore,the three molecular mechanisms employed by plants to cope with heat stress,including signal transduction pathways,transcriptional factor regulatory networks and the expression of heat-resistance related genes have been introduced as well.Based on these insights,this review suggests that bioinformatics,genetic engineering,cell biology and molecular biology may be further employed as tools for understanding the molecular mechanisms of heat stress in plants.At last,this review offers a prospective outlook on future research directions in this field.
