Abstract Background Dehydrins represent hydrophilic proteins acting mainly during cell dehydration and stress response.Dehydrins are generally thermostable; however, the so-called dehydrin-like (dehydrin-related) proteins show variable thermolability.Both groups immunoreact with antibodies directed against the K-segment of dehydrins.Plant mitochond
