Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb428800
• Gene Symbol: Hsftf20
• Gene Name: HSF-transcription factor 20
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• This result suggests that the down-regulation of heat-response Hsftf20 and HSP90 in crown tissues was associated with chilling tolerance. It also suggests that up-regulation of the heat response is associated with chilling susceptibility in leaves.
• Hsftf20 encodes a heat shock factor.
• Besides breeding approaches, augmented production of heat shock factors (HSFs) and heat shock proteins (HSPs) have been reported in transgenic maize to provide heat stress tolerance.
