Abstract The Antarctic Peninsula is one of the fastest-warming places on Earth. Elevated sea
water temperatures cause glacier and sea ice melting. When icebergs melt into the ocean, it …

A common physiological response of organisms to environmental stresses is the increase in
expression of heat shock proteins (Hsps). In insects, this process has been widely examined …

The vegetable leafminer, Liriomyza sativae has spread worldwide, causing serious loss of
agricultural productivity. Heat shock proteins (HSPs) play important roles in the …

Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) is a highly conserved molecular chaperone contributing to
the folding, maintenance of structural integrity and proper regulation of a subset of cytosolic …

There is no consensus on the overwintering strategy used by the diamondback moth,
Plutella xylostella (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae). As a result, the topic of diamondback moth …

Small heat shock proteins (sHSPs) play an important role in protecting against stress-
induced cell damage and fundamental physiological processes. In this study, we identified …

Small heat shock proteins constitute the most diverse and least conserved group within the
large family of heat shock proteins, which play a crucial role in cell response to …

Small heat shock proteins (sHsps) are probably the most diverse in structure and function
among the various superfamilies of stress proteins. To explore the diverse functions of insect …

Blood-sucking vectors must overcome thermal stress caused by intake of proportionally
large amounts of warm blood from their hosts. In response to this, Heat Shock Proteins …

Reverse‐transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT‐qPCR) is commonly used
to quantify gene expression. For normalization, the expression of each gene is compared …
