genes. Phylogenetic analysis shows the ortholog genes that are clustered with only rice, representing a&#13;
common ancestor. Promoter analysis revealed the identification of different cis-acting elements that&#13;
are responsible for abiotic as well as biotic stresses. Hsf domains like DBD, NLS, NES, and AHA&#13;
have been analyzed for their sequence similarity and functional characterization. Tissue specific expression&#13;
patterns of Hsfs in different tissues like mature embryo, seedling, root, and panicle were studied&#13;
using real-time PCR. While Hsfs4 and 22 are highly expressed in panicle, 4 and 9 are expressed in&#13;
seedlings. Sorghum plants were exposed to different abiotic stress treatments but no expression of any Hsf was observed&#13;
when seedlings were treated with ABA. High level expression of Hsf1 was noticed during high temperature as well as&#13;
cold stresses, 4 and 6 during salt and 5, 6, 10, 13, 19, 23 and 25 during drought stress. This comprehensive analysis of&#13;
SbHsf genes will provide an insight on how these genes are regulated in different tissues and also under different abiotic&#13;
stresses and help to determine the functions of Hsfs during drought and temperature stress tolerance.</mods:abstract><mods:classification authority="lcc">Sorghum</mods:classification><mods:classification authority="lcc">Genetics and Genomics</mods:classification><mods:originInfo><mods:dateIssued encoding="iso8061">2015</mods:dateIssued></mods:originInfo><mods:originInfo><mods:publisher>Bentham Science</mods:publisher></mods:originInfo><mods:genre>Article</mods:genre></mods:mods>
