Relative fold increase in gene expression (+/− SD) for four inducible HSPs in A. picea and P. barbatus across different temperature treatment. Relative expression of hsp83 (a), hsc70-4 h1 (b), hsc70-4 h2 (c), and hsp40 (d) were normalized to the 18 s rRNA and β-actin, 18 s rRNA and GAPDH in A. picea (N = 4 per treatment) and P. barbatus (N = 3 per treatment), respectively. Significant up-regulation from 25 °C (A. picea) and 30 °C (P. barbatus) is denoted by ‘*’ from post hoc Tukey tests (p < 0.05)
