Transgenerational stability of a high temperature-adapted strain of Neoseiulus barkeri Hughes (Acari: Phytoseiidae) and differential expression of antioxidant genes in response to heat stress

High temperature-adapted natural enemies may exhibit improved biocontrol effiicacy in hot weather, but transgenerational stability of the trait may affect practical applications.Neoseiulus barkeri is a commercially produced biocontrol agent, and a 5-Piece Dining Set high temperature-adapted strain (HTAS) has been developed.Thermotolerance and the a
