Genome-Wide Identification and Expression Analysis of Heat Shock Protein 70 (<i>HSP70</i>) Gene Family in Pumpkin (<i>Cucurbita moschata</i>) Rootstock under Drought Stress Suggested the Potential Role of these Chaperones in Stress Tolerance

Heat shock protein 70s (HSP70s) are highly conserved proteins that are involved in stress responses. These chaperones play pivotal roles in protein folding, removing the extra amounts of oxidized proteins, preventing protein denaturation, and improving the antioxidant system activities. This conserv...
