Frankliniella occidentalis  (Pergande) is an invasive pest that endangers a wide variety of horticultural and agronomic crops. HSP70 is the most important member of the heat shock protein (HSP) family and plays an important role in insect thermal tolerance. In this study, a new gene encoding HSP70 from  F. occidentalis ,  Fohsp706 , was selected from the  F. occidentalis  transcriptome exposed to thermal stress (40 °C) and cloned by RT-PCR and RACE. Further characterization indicated that  Fohsp706  localizes to the cytoplasm and does not contain introns. Quantitative real-time reverse transcriptase PCR indicated that  Fohsp706  expression was significantly up-regulated by thermal stress; furthermore, there were significant differences in  Fohsp706  expression in adults and second instar nymphs after heat stress. Our results indicated that  Fohsp706  contributes to thermotolerance in  F. occidentalis  and provides another example of how this pest adapts to unfavorable environmental conditions.
