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 …

Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are molecular chaperones with critical roles in the maintenance
of cellular proteostasis. HSPs, which regulate protein folding and refolding, assembly …

Lace plant leaves utilize programmed cell death (PCD) to form perforations during
development. The role of heat shock proteins (Hsps) in PCD during lace plant leaf …

Background Organisms from many distinct evolutionary lineages acquired the capacity to
enter a dormant state in response to environmental conditions incompatible with maintaining …

In their role as molecular chaperones, heat shock proteins (Hsps) mediate protein folding
thereby mitigating cellular damage caused by physiological and environmental stress …

Females of the brine shrimp Artemia franciscana produce either free-swimming nauplii via
ovoviviparous pathway of reproduction or encysted embryos, known as cysts, via oviparous …

Late embryogenesis-abundant (LEA) proteins are protective proteins that are enriched in the
late stage of seed embryo development. LEA proteins play an important role in resisting …

Treatment with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) raises the hatching rate through the development
and diapause termination of Artemia cysts. To comprehend the upstream genetic regulation …

Programmed cell death (PCD) is a highly controlled, regulated process of deleting cells.
Plant PCD is either developmentally regulated or environmentally induced due to biotic or …
