Abstract

The biochemical features that govern multi-functions of boiling soluble proteins are still not well documented. This study reports isolation and sequencing of a water stress responsive cDNA which encodes dehydrin-like boiling soluble proteins (designated as TaBsSRP1 and TaBsSRP2: Triticum aestivum boiling soluble stress responsive proteins) from seedlings exposed to water stress from wheat (PBW 175) cultivar tolerant to drought stress. In addition we described in-silico analysis of TaBsSRP1 through computational approaches. The physio-chemical analysis of TaBsSRP1 revealed that it belongs to group 3 LEA protein. Based upon these findings we suggest the possible mechanism that how these boiling soluble proteins preclude the unfavourable effect of drought stress.
