Overexpression of seagrass DnaJ gene ZjDjB1 enhances the thermotolerance of transgenic arabidopsis thaliana.

ABSTRACT: Seagrass meadows are one of the most important marine resources that grow along the coast. They provide habitat and a food source for animals. They also protect the coast, fix sediment and purify seawater. In the current period of global climate change, anomalies in coastal water temperatures are increasing. A sudden increase in water temperature owing to a heat wave can have a profound effect on seagrass. Zostera japonica is a type of intertidal seagrasses, which is exposed to the air at low tide. High temperatures in the summer often lead to a decline in seagrass meadows. DnaJ proteins, also known as J proteins, are a family of conserved chaperone proteins. They are designated as J proteins because they contain a highly conserved J domain. They function as chaperones of heat shock
