The morphogenesis of supernumerary appendages on otherwise apodous abdominal
segments can be induced in Artemia by specific nutritional conditions imposed on young …

Artemia larvae respond to a brief heat-shock between 28° and 40° C with an increase in the
synthesis of two groups of proteins of Mr 68,000 and 89,000. At 40° C synthesis of all other …

Encysted gastrula embryos of the crustacean Artemia franciscana have acquired an array of
adaptations that enable them to survive a wide variety of environmental extremes. The …

Abstract Background Cysts of Artemia can remain in a dormant state for long periods with a
very low metabolic rate, and only resume their development with the approach of favorable …

Artemia cryptobiotic embryos are characterized by their total absence of metabolic activity,
including DNA, RNA and protein synthesis. Many efforts have been devoted to the study of …

The metabolic status of encysted Artemia embryos under anoxic conditions has been
studied by calorimetry. Previous work demonstrated a very low, but still measurable, source …

Axolotl eggs were heat shocked (36· 8° C, 10min) inside their jelly layers. Heat shock (HS)
was shown to induce the precocious appearance of a grey crescent (GC) in a number of …

Environmental cues terminating embryonic diapause and a potential regulatory mechanism
involving depressed pH were investigated in the encysted embroyos of the brine shrimp …

Sequencing of cloned cDNAs to produce expressed sequence tag (EST) libraries is an
efficient method for gene identification and analysis of transcription status within organisms …

The brine shrimp Artemia franciscana is widely used in aquaculture and basic research in
areas ranging from molecular biology to evolution and ecology. A key feature of its life …
