Three Heat Shock Protein Genes and Antioxidant Enzymes Protect Pardosa pseudoannulata (Araneae: Lycosidae) from High Temperature Stress.

ABSTRACT: Pardosa pseudoannulata (P. pseudoannulata) is an essential natural predatory enemy in rice ecosystems. The fluctuating climate may cause them to experience heat stress, whereas heat shock proteins (HSPs) and antioxidant enzymes help resist heat damage. Herein, we cloned and characterized the full-length genes PpHSP27, PpHSP60, and PpHSC70 from P. pseudoannulata. Changes in gene expression levels and superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione transferase (GST) activities in adult male and female P. pseudoannulata were measured at different stress exposure times and temperatures. We found that the abovementioned HSP genes belong to the sHSP, HSP60, and HSP70 families. The expression of the three HSP genes and the activities of
