physiological function | heat-intolerant mutant hit5 carries a mutation in the beta-subunit of the protein farnesyltransferase. The mutant is thermosensitive to prolonged heat incubation at 37°C for 4 d but thermotolerant to sudden heat shock at 44°C for 40 min. hit5/abi3 and hit5/aba3 double mutants have the same temperature-dependent phenotypes as hit5. Exogenous supplementation of neither abscisic acid nor the abscisic acid synthesis inhibitor fluridone alter the temperature-dependent phenotypes of hit5. The hit5/hsp101 double mutant is still sensitive to prolonged heat incubation, yet its ability to tolerate sudden heat shock is lost | Arabidopsis thaliana |
