| Research Abstract |
Isothiocyanates, which are pungent compounds generated by mainly Brassicaceae plants, are antimicrobials and animal repellents for plants. However, influences of isothiocyanates to plants have not been elucidated. In this study, we found that isothiocyanates enhanced heat tolerance of plants by altering redox balances in plants and by increasing the expression of heat shock protein genes.
