Heat shock protein genes Hsp70 and DnaJA1 are key contributors to thermotolerance and development in predatory ladybeetle Propylaea japonica.
Global climate change has increased the frequency of extreme high-temperature events, underscoring the need to elucidate thermotolerance mechanisms in natural enemy insects for effective biological control. The ladybird Propylaea japonica is a predominant predator in South-East Asia and a successful biocontrol agent, y...
