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 …

AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) plays a central role in maintaining the energy balance
of organisms under physiological and environmental stresses. Here two AMPK alpha …

Background Artemia eggs tend to develop ovoviviparously to yield nauplius larvae in good
rearing conditions; while under adverse situations, they tend to develop oviparously and …

Artemia has evolved a unique developmental pattern of encysted embryos to cope with
various environmental threats. Cell divisions totally cease during the preemergence …

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

This chapter considers life cycle-dependent biochemical and physiological adaptations
critical to the survival of Artemia in nature. Thus, the encysted gastrula embryo ('cyst') is …

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 …

To survive under harsh environments, embryonic development of Artemia was arrested at
the gastrula stage and released as the diapause embryo. Cell cycle and metabolism were …

Toxoplasma gondii is a widespread eukaryotic pathogen that causes life-threatening
diseases in humans and diverse animals. It has a complex life cycle with multiple …

This study aimed to characterize the full-length cDNA of AMP-activated protein kinase α1
(AMPKα1) from Megalobrama amblycephala and investigate the transcriptional response of …
