Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is a protein produced by plants in response to adverse environmental stresses. In this study, we identified and analyzed Hsp90 gene family members using a bioinformatic method based on genomic data from tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.). The results illustrated that tomato contains at least 7 Hsp90 genes distributed on 6 chromosomes; protein lengths ranged from 267-794 amino acids. Intron numbers ranged from 2-19 in the genes.

Identification of heat shock proteins via transcriptome profiling of tree peony leaf exposed to high temperature

Y. Z. Zhang, Cheng, Y. W., Ya, H. Y., Han, J. M., and Zheng, L., “Identification of heat shock proteins via transcriptome profiling of tree peony leaf exposed to high temperature”, vol. 14, pp. 8431-8442, 2015.

The tree peony leaf is an important vegetative organ that is sensitive to abiotic stress and particularly to high temperature. This sensitivity affects plant growth and restricts tree peony distribution. However, the transcriptomic information currently available on the peony leaf in public databases is limited. In this study, we sequenced the transcriptomes of peony leaves subjected to high temperature using the Illumina HiSeq TM 2000 platform. We performed de novo assembly of 93,714 unigenes (average length of 639.7 bp).
