Heat-shock proteins and plant tolerance against high temperature stress
 Ott, Kristián ; Hála, Michal (advisor) ; Konrádová, Hana (referee)
In context with ongoing climate change, the average temperature is still rising. This is a problem mainly for agriculture and production of groceries, because plants generally have difficulties when coping with ambient temperature higher than 40 řC. If there would be continuing trend in decrease of global food production, it could cause problems with feeding still growing world population. Organisms in general developed many mechanisms of stress adaptation. One of these evolutionary adaptions to high temperature stress is production of heat shock proteins (HSPs). HSPs are very conserved family of proteins present in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. This thesis summarizes present knowledge about the HSPs and their function (not only) during the high temperature stress in plants, but some of the information presented in this thesis were obtained also from other organisms. The thesis starts with general introduction to the high temperature stress and how plants can sense the ambient temperature. Next is general mechanism of induction of HSPs and their classification, structure, and mechanism of action. The possibility of future use of HSPs in agriculture and medicine is opened in last chapter.
