Abstract:
Heat shock proteins are induced in a wide range of abiotic and biotic stresses. They are well known for cellular chaperone activities and play an important role in protecting plants through regulation of homeostasis and survival. A comprehensive characterization and comparative analysis of the Hsp70 family members within the closely related plant species helps in better interpretation of these proteins' contribution to cell function and response to specific environmental stresses. Therefore, it is of interest to glean insights from the protein sequence analysis of PgHsc 70 and OsHsp70 genes. Thus, we document data from the sequence and structure analysis of PgHsc 70 and OsHsp 70 gene a.
