Heat shock protein <i>HvHSP16.9</i> from wild barley enhances tolerance to salt stress.

ABSTRACT: Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are known to play a crucial role in the response of plants to environmental stress, particularly heat stress. Nevertheless, the function of HSPs in salt stress tolerance in plants, especially in barley, remains largely unexplored. Here, we aimed to investigate and compare the salt tolerance mechanisms between wild barley EC_S1 and cultivated barley RGT Planet through a comprehensive analysis of physiological parameters and transcriptomic profiles. Results demonstrated that the number of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in EC_S1 was significantly higher than in RGT Planet, indicating that wild barley gene regulation is more adaptive to salt stress. KEGG enrichment analysis revealed that DEGs were mainly enriched in the processes of photosynthesi
