Climate change and abiotic stress adversely affect agriculture and crop production. Three 10-mer arbitrary primers were used to produce

RNA fingerprinting of wheat genotypes under heat stress and three specific heat shock protein gene primer pairs to identification different

members of heat shock protein multi gene families in wheat using differential display technique. Four different hexaploid wheat varieties

were used: two Egyptian varieties (‘Giza 168’ and ‘Gemmiza 7’), one Mexican heat tolerant variety (‘SERI M 82’), and one Chinese heat

susceptible variety (‘Chinese Spring’). 10-day-old seedlings were exposed to heat stress at 37°C for 2 hours, and the leaf tissue was used for

cDNA synthesis. The random primers generated a number of amplified expressed genes ranging from 5 for the OPW03+DDPT primers

combination to 15 for the OPC07+DDPC primers combination. Comparable number of amplified fragments (amplified expressed genes) was

obtained for different gene primers pairs (e.g. hsp16.9, hsp70, and hsp101 primers pairs). Both random and specific primers were able to

differentiate between the heat treatment and control treatment by amplifying specific fragments. The cluster analysis of differential display

data separated the genotypes into two main clusters. One contains the heat treated and untreated types of ‘Giza168’ and ‘SERI M 82’

varieties along with the untreated type of the ‘Gemmiza 7’ variety. The second cluster included both types of the ‘Chinese Spring’ variety

(heat treated and untreated) along with the heat treated ‘Gemmiza 7’ variety. The results suggest that both ‘Gemmiza 7’ and ‘Chinese

Spring’ varieties are heat susceptible, while ‘Giza 168’ and ‘SERI M 82’ are heat tolerant varieties. The results revealed that differential

display was successful for gene expression profile comparison in different thermo tolerance wheat varieties under heat shock condition. Key words: Wheat, differential display, HSP genes, heat shock response
