Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation Maize hybrid ZD819 showed stronger heat tolerance than its parent varieties ZD819-F and ZD819-M.
- Observation Transcriptome sequencing under high-temperature stress identified 12 HSF transcription factors among 12,442 differentially expressed genes in maize.
- Observation Among the 12 HSFs, ZmHSF10 had the highest differential expression fold, 1279.40, before versus after high-temperature treatment.
- Intervention effect Overexpression of ZmHSF10 in Arabidopsis stabilized cell membrane stability and improved survival rate under high temperature stress.
- Mechanism The authors conclude preliminarily that ZmHSF10 plays an important role in regulating heat tolerance in plants.
