1. Plant model - Heat Shock

• during the 40 C pretreatment a very limited number of proteins are made -all other production is halted. The proteins produced are called heat shock proteins. They are labeled by molecular weight and Hsp thus Hsp 70 etc.
• These proteins are very similar from wide ranging organisms
• Some of these proteins are only made during heat shock
• Some proteins are constitutive under normal conditions but up-regulated during stress
