Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb060670
• Gene Symbol: ZmHsf05 hsftf11
• Gene Name: HSF-transcription factor 11
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• ZmHsf05, a new heat shock transcription factor from Zea mays L. improves thermotolerance in Arabidopsis thaliana and rescues thermotolerance defects of the athsfa2 mutant.
• ZmHsf05 was expressed in many maize tissues and its expression level was increased by heat stress treatment. ZmHsf05 rescued the reduced thermotolerance of the athsfa2 mutant in Arabidopsis seedlings. Arabidopsis seedlings of ZmHsf05-overexpressing increased both the basal and acquired thermotolerances.
• The expression of Hsps was up-regulated in the ZmHsf05-overexpressing Arabidopsis lines after heat stress treatment. These results suggested that ZmHsf05 plays an important role in both basal and acquired thermotolerance in plants.
