Plants have inbuilt mechanisms to protect itself from harsh environmental conditions. Due to tremendous change in the environmental conditions there are certain possibilities that one can think of. One of such mechanism is the Heat Shock Proteins (HSP) in side plant cell. These are molecular chaperons that allow plants to survive in the higher temperature regimes by binding with the protein molecules thus preventing their disintegration due to warm conditions. HSP have role in heat tolerance, desiccation tolerance, seed development, maturation, seed germination and seed longevity. It also regulates plant cell development and working mechanism
