Abstract

Heat stress is an important factor affecting the agricultural production. At the molecular level post translational modifications have been shown to be influenced in plants under heat stress. The authors have studied palmitoylation, sumoylation, S-nitrosylation and nitration in the plant gene sequences associated or not associated with heat stress. In the present paper it has been shown that sumoylation is an important property which is possibly influences a large number of proteins associated with heat stress in a wide variety of plants. This property can be utilized for identifying novel sequences associated with heat stress in plants.
