Relative expression levels of several sHSPs in Harmonia axyridis in different development stages. Experimental population is used for this trial. (A) Hsp36.77. (B) Hsp16.25. (C) Hsp21.00. (D) Hsp21.62. (E) Hsp10.87. (F) Hsp21.56.Changes in H. axyridis sHSPs mRNA levels from day 1 of fourth-instar larvae to adult stage in relation to those of Harp49 (H. axyridis ribosomal protein 49 gene) were measured by quantitative real-time PCR. 4, fourth-instar larva; PP, pre-pupae; P, pupae; and A, adult. Each combination of letters and numbers represents the age of the individual at a certain developmental stage (e.g., 4.1: the 1st day of fourth-instar larva). Data are presented as means ± s.d. (n = 3). Bars with different letters indicate significant differences (P < 0.05) and used Tukey's test, α = 0.05, a > b > c.
