Comprehensive analysis of HSF genes from celery (Apium graveolens L.) and functional characterization of AgHSFa6-1 in response to heat stress.

ABSTRACT: High temperature stress is regarded as one of the significant abiotic stresses affecting the composition and distribution of natural habitats and the productivity of agriculturally significant plants worldwide. The HSF family is one of the most important transcription factors (TFs) families in plants and capable of responding rapidly to heat and other abiotic stresses. In this study, 29 AgHSFs were identified in celery and classified into three classes (A, B, and C) and 14 subgroups. The gene structures of AgHSFs in same subgroups were conserved, whereas in different classes were varied. AgHSF proteins were predicted to be involved in multiple biological processes by interacting with other proteins. Expression analysis revealed that AgHSF genes play a significant role
