“…Plant Hsp70 genes were composed of a multi-gene family and have been extensively identified in a variety of plants, such as rice [7,8], pepper [9], potato [10], tobacco [11], cabbage [12], tomato [13,14], pumpkin [15], chrysanthemum [16], and radish [17]. In previous studies, many recognized Hsp70 genes have been characterized to quickly express and accumulate under a number of abiotic stresses, such as heavy metal [14,18], salt [19], drought [20,21], heat [7,16], UV and high intensity light stress [22], as well as biotic stresses, such as pathogen and virus infection [23,24].…”
