Heat shock proteins (Hsps) are a family of ubiquitously expressed stress proteins and
extrinsic chaperones that are required for viability and cell growth in all living organisms …

Oviparously developing embryos of the brine shrimp, Artemia, arrest at gastrulation and are
released from females as cysts before entering diapause, a state of dormancy and stress …

Abstract Background Brine shrimp Artemia have an unequalled ability to endure extreme
salinity and complete anoxia. This study aims to elucidate its strategies to cope with these …

Anostracan crustacean eggs were collected from various materials leaving and entering
branchiopod habitats. The eggs were cultured from allochthonous dust and mud, bird faeces …

Heat shock proteins (Hsps) are robustly induced by diverse stressors that denature proteins.
In addition to stress resistance, Hsps are involved in the folding of nascent proteins, plant …

Artemia franciscana embryos enter diapause as encysted gastrulae, a physiological state of
metabolic dormancy and enhanced stress resistance. The objective of this study was to use …

Water loss either by desiccation or freezing causes multiple forms of cellular damage. The
encysted embryos (cysts) of the crustacean Artemia franciscana have several molecular …

Bactrocera minax is a major citrus pest distributed in China, Bhutan and India. The long
pupal diapause duration of this fly is a major bottleneck for artificial rearing and underlying …

The biological processes involved in the preservation, viability, and revival of long‐term
dormant dinoflagellate cysts buried in sediments remain unknown. Based on studies of plant …

Roundup® is the most used glyphosate‐based herbicide. During agricultural use it may
directly contaminate existing aquatic ecosystems, posing severe concerns for the safety of …
