Imagine feeding our planet’s ever
increasing population by growing
normally heat-sensitive crops in
the Sahara desert, or any other
extreme environment.
Although this is not a current
possibility, it might be within the.
next century. Dr. Lynn Zimmer
man is doing the basic research
that could lead to the genetic engi
neering of heat-tolerant plants.
When exposed to a sudden shift
in temperature, a small set of “heat

shock” proteins (HSPs) accumu
late in cells. This can happen, for
example, when a person has a fev
er. Or, for a plant, when there is a
hot, sunny day.
The heated cells are put in
something like suspended anima
tion they temporarily stop
doing what they were doing and
produce HSPs.
Heat shock has “an absolutely
universal response” in all living
things, said Zimmerman, an asso
ciate professor at the University of
Maryland Baltimore County,
whose research is supported by
the Maryland Agricultural Experi
ment Station.
The basic heat shock mechan
ism is almost identical in most
organisms, Zimmerman said. For
example, the gene that codes for
HSP7O, one of the many HSPs, is
significantly similar in both the
common bacterium E. coli and
humans.
The heat shock response is a
dramatic shift in the expression of
genes that helps stabilize the cell
for a relatively short period of
lime.
If the heated condition were to
persist, the cell adapts.
“It will go back to normal oper
ations within about 12 hours,”
Zimmerman said.
The heat shock response is a
normal occurrence in plants on hot
days. However, it occurs slowly as
the day goes by. The plant has
plenty of time to adjust and adapt
to the new temperatures. In the
lab, heat shock can be made to
happen almost instantaneously.
Zimmerman has been studying
the heat shock response, using car-

rot cells as a plant model, for more
than five years. She is currently
investigating the role that small
HSPs play in protecting plant cells
from high temperatures, a condi
tion known as acquired
thermotolcrance.
Acquired thermotolerance is
the ability to survive a normally
lethal high temperature. HSPs are
known to be very important in
developing this ability.
Zimmerman’s study may help
us to understand how plants
acquire it, as well as lead to the
future creation of heat-resistant
plants plants that can thrive in
the desert, or other extreme
environments.
Zimmerman is using a state-of
the-art technique involving gene
manipulation. She has chosen a
specific family of HSPs, out of the
many that occur in the cell, to try
to block. If things go as planned,
this blockage will reduce or com
pletely block the plant’s
thermotolerarfce.
By choosing one family of
HSPs, Zimmerman hopes to find
the specific HSP that is critical for
acquired thermotolerance.
Using this new technology is a
tricky business, however. “There
is a lot of uncertainty,” Zimmer
man admitted. Getting the cloned
genes into the cell, and having
them work once they are there, is
difficult.
Even then, there may not be a
change in thcrmotolerance. How
ever, if her experiments do work,
we will have gained some useful
knowledge toward understanding
the heat shock response.
