Key, J L

Work during the 2 1/2 years of this contract has focused on: (1) descriptive biology of the heat shock (hs) response of soybean seedlings, (2) cDNA cloning and characterization of several hs specific mRNA sequences, (3) comparative analysis of the hs response in several crop plant systems using in vivo labeling/2D gel analysis of the newly synthesized proteins and soybean hs cDNA clones in northern hybridization analysis of hs mRNAs, (4) comparative analysis between different environmental stresses and hs in soybean using cloned cDNA, (5) an analysis of the physiological significance of the hs response in crop plants - thermal tolerance and selective localization of the hs proteins (hsp's) and (6) the influence of hs on normal (28/sup 0/) RNA metabolism.
