Molecular characterization of a RING E3 ligase SbHCI1 in sorghum under heat and abscisic acid stress.

Molecular function ofRING E3 ligase SbHCI1is involved in ABA-mediated basal heat stress tolerancein sorghum. Global warming generally reduces plant survival, owing to the negative effects of high temperatures on plant development. However, little is known about the role of Really Interesting New Gene (RING) E3 ligase in the heat stress responses of plants.
