Late embryogenesis abundant proteins

(LEA. Late embryogenesis abundant, English: enriched in late embryogenesis ) proteins were first discovered in seeds of Gossypium hirsutum (Mexican cotton) in a late phase of embryogenesis. Contrary to their name, their occurrence is not limited to a particular developmental stage or tissue. LEA proteins are widely distributed in the plant world, but were also found in some invertebrates and bacteria. Many studies suggest that a relationship between LEA proteins and plant stress tolerance is.
