Abstract: This paper summaried current research on chloroplast-localized small heat shock proteins. Chloroplast-localized small heat shock proteins, members of a super-family of heat shock proteins, contain three conserved domains, and function in the protection of PSⅡ and thylakoids during heat stress. Moreover, the relation between heat or chilling tolerance and the proteins, and their chaperone function were discussed.
