1. A method of producing a plant, said method comprising

growing a plant cell comprising an exogenous nucleic acid, said exogenous nucleic acid comprising a regulatory region operably linked to a nucleotide sequence comprising a polynucleotide sequence having 90 percent or greater identity to the polynucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:363, or wherein the nucleotide sequence encodes a polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequences having 90 percent or greater sequence identity to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:364,

producing a plant from said plant cell,

exposing the plant produced from said plant cell to a heat shock comprising 42° C. for 5 hours,

selecting the plant exposed to said heat shock for having an increased heat tolerance as compared to a control plant that does not comprise said nucleic acid.
