Abstract
Plant cells respond, as do the cells of all living organisms, to transient increases in temperature by inducing or enhancing the synthesis of a characteristic set of heat shock proteins (hsps). At the same time, there is in most organisms at least a partial suppression of normal cellular protein synthesis. This is done, presumably, to focus the cell’s activities on addressing the physiological and biochemical changes which ensue with such stress; however, the precise function that these hsps perform in heat-shocked cells is not yet fully understood (for a recent review see Vierling 1991). In heat shock each cell responds to heat shock as a single cell; there is no system-wide, coordinated response.
