🍅 **Heat Shock Protein Gene Family Diversity in Tomato | MS Thesis Viva Defense by Tooba**

In this video, we present the **MS Thesis Viva Voce Defense of Tooba**, focusing on the **diversity, genome-wide characterization, and analysis of the Heat Shock Protein (HSP) gene family in tomato**.

Heat Shock Proteins (HSPs) are important molecular chaperones that help plants maintain cellular stability and survive under different environmental stresses, particularly **heat stress**. Understanding the diversity and evolution of HSP genes can provide valuable insights into plant stress tolerance and molecular breeding.

🔬 **Key topics covered in this thesis defense include:**
• Identification and characterization of HSP gene family members in tomato
• Genome-wide analysis of HSP genes
• Classification of different HSP subfamilies
• Gene and protein structure analysis
• Chromosomal distribution of HSP genes
• Phylogenetic analysis
• Conserved domain and motif analysis
• Gene duplication and evolutionary analysis
• Cis-regulatory/promoter analysis
• Expression and functional analysis
• Potential role of HSP genes in heat-stress tolerance
• Implications for tomato improvement and stress-resilient crop development
