Abstract:
An isolated nucleic acid sequence selected from the following:(a) an isolated nucleic acid sequence consisting of nucleotides 1 to 1089 of SEQ ID NO:2; (b) an isolated nucleic acid sequence, wherein no more than 5 nucleotides have been added to, deleted from, or substituted in the isolated nucleic acid of (a); or (c) an isolated nucleic acid sequence which hybridizes to the isolated nucleic acid sequence of (a) at 65Â° C. in a solution containing 6Ã—SSC, 5Ã—Dernhardt's solution, 0.1% SDS, and 0.1 mg/ml denatured herring sperm DNA, followed by washing at 65Â° C. in 2Ã—SSC, 0.1% SDS; then in 1Ã—SSC and 0.1% SDS; and then in 0.1Ã—SSC and 0.1% SDS; and wherein expression of said isolated nucleic acid sequence is induced by high temperature stress, is derived from barley, and confers thermotolerance to a plant transformed therewith.
