Abstract Small heat shock proteins (sHSPs) are by far the most complex group of HSPs that function to protect practically all cellular compartments in plants under stress due to their unusual abundance and diversity. Recent advances in proteomics, genomics, and other cellular and molecular techniques have facilitated the identifi - cation and characterization of sHSPs in higher plants, especially grass plants from the family of Poaceae that are economically important as crops and grasslands. Here we introduce the structure and function of plant sHSPs, and then summarize recent research progress on the role of sHSPs in grass tolerance to heat stress. Keywords
