Comprehensive characterization of poplar HSP20 gene family: genome-wide identification, stress-induced expression profiling, and protein interaction verifications
Abstract Background Heat shock proteins (HSP20s) are crucial components in plant stress responses, acting as molecular chaperones to safeguard cellular integrity and prevent abnormal protein aggregation. While extensive research has been conducted on HSP20s in various plant species, limited informat...
