Heat shock proteins (Hsps), also known as stress proteins, are expressed by living organisms. Hsp genes play key roles in the regulation of change in response to various abiotic stresses (., salinity, drought, heavy metal, and extreme temperatures). In our previous studies, all Hsp family gene members were determined and named using bioinformatics approaches. We also examined their expression profiles under different stress conditions. In this study, the aim was to indicate the expression pattern of Hsp family genes under cadmium (Cd) stress in different poplar taxa which are resistant to various stresses. |
