However, thermotolerance would be conferred through the expression of specific genes encoding proteins such as heat shock proteins (HSPs), proline, and dehydrins (DHNs). This chapter deals with the different types of stress-related proteins in response to heat-stress, and discusses their roles in augmenting potential for adaptation in repose to thermal stress. © 2020 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.
