Key Findings
- The study from Jining Medical University identified 17 heat shock transcription factor (HSF) genes in the garlic genome
- These HSF genes were categorized into three classes based on their structural characteristics
- Specific HSF genes were found to be upregulated in response to heat stress, indicating their role in protecting garlic from high temperatures
