A)after the induction of chaperone proteins.
B)in response to the lack of CO2 following the closing of stomata by ethylene.
C)when desert plants are quickly removed from high temperatures.
D)when they are subjected to moist heat (steam)followed by electric shock.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Heat-shock proteins are synthesized by plant cells in response to high temperatures, typically above 40°C, to help protect and repair proteins that may become denatured due to heat stress.
