Characterization and expression analysis of genes encoding three small heat shock proteins in the oriental armyworm, Mythimna separata (Walker).

Small heat shock proteins (sHsps) function in the response of insects to abiotic stress; however, their role in response to biotic stress has been under-investigated. Mythimna separata, the oriental armyworm, is polyphenetic and exhibits gregarious and solitary phases in response to high and low pop...
