Four heat shock protein genes of the endoparasitoid wasp, Cotesia vestalis, and their transcriptional profiles in relation to developmental stages and temperature.

Heat shock proteins (Hsps) play important roles in the environmental adaptation of various organisms. To explore the functions of Hsps in relation to heat stress and development in Cotesia vestalis, a solitary larval endoparasitoid of Plutella xylostella, four heat shock protein genes, CvHsp40, CvHs...
