Main conclusion We have evaluated the endogenous expression and molecular properties
of selected Group 3 LEA proteins from Artemia franciscana, and the capacity of selected …

Anhydrobiotic animals protect cellular architecture and metabolic machinery in the dry state,
yet the molecular repertoire supporting this profound dehydration tolerance is not fully …

Late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) proteins are hydrophilic molecules that are believed to
function in desiccation and low-temperature tolerance in some plants and plant propagules …

Late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) proteins are associated with desiccation tolerance in
anhydrobiotic organisms. The larvae of an African chironomid, Polypedilum vanderplanki …

Water is critical for the survival of most cells and organisms. Remarkably, a small number of
multicellular animals are able to survive nearly complete drying. The phenomenon of …

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 …

The vast majority of animal species do not tolerate severe water stress, but the encysted
embryo of the brine shrimp Artemia franciscana is an exceptionally useful organism to …

Late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) proteins are accumulated by anhydrobiotic organisms
in response to desiccation and improve survivorship during water stress. In this study we …

Climate change has accentuated the importance of understanding how organisms respond
to stresses imposed by changes to their environment, like water availability. Unusual …

Water is essential for living organisms. Terrestrial organisms are incessantly exposed to the
stress of losing water, desiccation stress. Avoiding the mortality caused by desiccation …
