ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a novel RNA, designated herein as the “HSR1” (Heat Shock RNA), constitutively active HSR1 fragments, and the use of HSR1 and constitutively active HSR1 fragments for generation of novel therapeutics for the treatment of various diseases in animals and for generation of stress-resistant plants.
