Role of TRP channels and HSPs in thermal stress response in the aphid parasitoid Aphelinus asychis (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae) by Xiang LIU, Zhi-wei KANG, Xing-lin YU, Fan LI, Tong-xian LIU, Qiang LI

“…The results showed that the maximum temperature that allowed A. asychis survival was approximately 41°C; females had higher survival rates than that of the males at 40 and 41°C. Short-term heat-shock resulted in increased expression of Aasyshsp in males, and Aasyhsp40, Aasyhsp68, Aasyhsp70-4, Aasyhsp70-5 and Aasyhsp90 were upregulated and then downregulated, whereas Aasyhsp70-3 was upregulated at 41°C. …”
