Climate change is resulting in heightened incidences of plant heat stress episodes. Production of transgenic crops with enhanced heat stress tolerance is a highly desired agronomic trait for the sustainability of food production in 21st century. We review the current status of our understanding of the high temperature stress response of plants. We specifically deliberate on the progress made in altering levels of heat shock proteins (Hsp100, Hsp70/Hsp40 and sHsps), heat shock factors and specific metabolic proteins in improving plant tolerance to heat stress by transgenic approach.
气候变化导致植物热应激事件的发生率增高。生产具有增强热应激耐性的转基因作物是 21 世纪粮食生产可持续性的一个非常理想的农艺性状。我们综述了目前对植物高温胁迫反应的理解状况。我们特别审议了通过转基因方法改变热休克蛋白（Hsp100、Hsp70/Hsp40 和 sHsps）、热休克因子和特定代谢蛋白的水平，从而提高植物耐热性方面所取得的进展。
