Functional analysis of tomato CHIP ubiquitin E3 ligase in heat tolerance

Abstract Plants have evolved genetic and physiological mechanisms to mitigate the adverse effects of high temperature. CARBOXYL TERMINUS OF THE HSC70-INTERACTING PROTEINS (CHIP) is a conserved chaperone-dependent ubiquitin E3 ligase that targets misfolded proteins. Here, we report functional analysi...
