Abstract:

Heat shock proteins (HSPs) in all animals studied to date constitute potential indicators of stress, under various environmental conditions. The goal of this chapter is to show, for the first time, the suitability of the approach based on evaluation of the expression levels of heat shock proteins, as good indicators of stress induced in nematodes by the cultivation of resistant plant varieties or by other potential stressors.

Keywords:

Responses to Heat and Cold Stress

Every organism has an optimum temperature range within which healthy growth and physiological functioning can occur. At the ends of this range, there will be a minimum and maximum temperature that interrupt biological processes.
