Effects of ultraviolet-C and microwave irradiation on the expression of heat shock protein genes in the maize weevil (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
The maize weevil, Sitophilus zeamais (Motschulsky), is a major pest of stored grain kernels. Irradiation is an established technique for controlling insects in stored grain and is a major stress factor affecting these insects. Since heat shock protein (hsp) genes respond to this stress, we proposed...
