Abstract: The heat shock proteins (Hsps) that are abundantly expressed in insects are important modulators of insect survival. The expression of different Hsp genes are induced and modulated in insects in response to abiotic stresses such as heat shock, ultraviolet radiation, chemical pesticides. This minireview will provide useful information related to the expression of Hsp genes in response to abiotic stressors as well as developmental regulation and modulation of Hsp genes involved with insect survival.
