The Impact of Heat Stress on Morpho-Physiological Response and Expression of Specific Genes in the Heat Stress-Responsive Transcriptional Regulatory Network in Brassica oleracea.

ABSTRACT: Knowledge of heat-tolerant/sensitive cultivars based on morpho-physiological indicators and an understanding of the action and interaction of different genes in the molecular network are critical for genetic improvement. To screen these indicators, the physiological performance of two different varieties of white and red cabbages (B. oleracea var. capitate f. alba and f. rubra, respectively) under heat stress (HS) and non-stress (NS) was evaluated. Cultivars that showed considerable cell membrane thermostability and less reduction in chlorophyll content with better head formation were categorized as the heat-tolerant cultivars (HTC), while those with reduction in stomatal conductance, higher reduction incurred in chlorophyll and damage to thylakoid membranes are categorized as the heat-sen
