Abstract
The heat-shock response is a very general phenomenon, shared by eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms. Based on experimental evidence it has been well established that heat-shock proteins protect against damage during the exposure to high temperatures (1). Exposure of the organisms to temperatures about 10ºC above the optimal growth temperature leads to rapid transcription of a number of genes. The gene products concerned are divided into two groups. The high molecular mass proteins, ranging from 50 to 100 kDa, display considerable homology in both groups of organisms. The low molecular mass proteins (17 to 30 kDa) are predominantly found in plants (2).
