The genus Trichoderma ssp, is today the group of species most commonly studied and used to act in agriculture as biological control against phytopathogens. Its rapid mycelial growth, associated with high production of conidia, synthesis of several antibiotics and ability to live in different forms (saprotrophic, symbiont or mycoparasite) are characteristics that make it attractive for this purpose. The relation of mycoparasitism, as well as oscillations in environmental conditions, naturally causes cell stress and consequent response to the stressing agent. This response occurs through changes in cellular metabolism, activating its defense mechanisms that include the performance of heat shock proteins (Hsp). The objective of this work was to identify the Hsp70 family of Trichoderma asperellum and to analyze the expression of three genes encoding proteins of this family during mycoparasitism and in situations of thermal and ethanol stress. The identification of the T. asperellum Hsp70 proteins was possible from the database analysis (JGI) of the T. asperellum genome, available, but not annotated. We identified a total of 12 proteins from the Hsp70 family in T. asperellum, three of which were selected for gene expression assays. Paired cultivation was carried out between T. asperellum and phytopathogens: Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and Fusarium oxysporum in three phases of mycoparasitism: pre-contact, contact and post-contact. We verified that the expression of Tahsp70a, Tahsp70b and Tahsp70c genes varies according to the phases of the mycoparasitism and the phytopathogen studied. Expression of hsp70 under thermal stress was evaluated at the 38 °C condition for 30 minutes, 1, 2 and 4 hours and at the conditions of 4, 10 and 32 °C for 1 hour. Ethanol stress was also performed for 1 hour. During the thermal stress Tahsp70a and Tahsp70b presented higher induction and the Tahsp70c gene had its highest induction in the cold shock at 4 °C. In ethanol stress the analyzed genes did not present significant expression.
