The heat shock protein 70 family contains the stress proteins ubiquitous in plants.These proteins are involved in the re-sponses to different abiotic stress conditions and have highly conserved gene sequences.However,little is known about the molecular mechanisms of Fritillaria cirrhosa in response to high-temperature stress.Here,26 HSP70s,FcHSP70-1 to FcHSP70-26,were identi-fied from the transcriptome data of root,bulb,stem,leaf,and fruit samples of F.cirrhosa.The proteins encoded by FcHSP70s had the lengths ranging from 560 aa to 944 aa,with the molecular weight of 61.64-100.01 kDa and the theoretical isoelectric point between 5.00 and 6.59.The secondary structural elements of HSP70s were mainly random coils and α-helixes.Subcellular localization predic-tion revealed that FcHSP70s were distributed in mitochondria,chloroplasts,nuclei,endoplasmic reticulum,and cytoplasm.The phylo-genetic tree showed that 7 members of the HSP70 family belonged to the Dnak subfamily and 19 members belonged to the HSP110/SSE subfamily.In addition,the qRT-PCR results showed that the expression of FcHSP70-5,FcHSP70-8,FcHSP70-17,FcHSP70-18,and FcHSP70-23 in F.cirrhosa was significantly up-regulated at 35℃,which indicated that these genes might play a role in the response to high temperature stress.In addition,compared with other tissues,stems and leaves were sensitive to high temperature stress,with the expression of 18 genes up-regulated by 18.18 and 8.03 folds on average,respectively.These findings provide valuable information about the molecular mechanism of HSP70s of F.cirrhosa in response to high temperature stress.
