▪ Abstract Environmental and hormonal regulators of diapause have been reasonably well
defined, but our understanding of the molecular regulation of diapause remains in its …

Our highly seasonal world restricts insect activity to brief portions of the year. This feature
necessitates a sophisticated interpretation of seasonal changes and enactment of …

The expression of small heat shock proteins is tightly regulated during development in
multiple organisms. As housekeeping proteins, small heat shock proteins help protect cells …

This book provides a modern, synthetic overview of interactions between insects and their
environments from a physiological perspective that integrates information across a range of …

Partial clones for two members of Leptinotarsa decemlineata inducible 70kDa heat shock
protein family (LdHSP70A and B) were developed using RT-PCR. LdHSP70A, but not …

Three heat shock protein transcripts, hsp90, hsp70, hsc70, isolated from the corn earworm,
Helicoverpa zea, were evaluated for their responsiveness to diapause and thermal stress …

A review of insect adaptations for resistance to cold and for life-cycle timing reveals the
complexity of the adaptations and their relationships to features of the environment. Cold …

Three genes were identified encoding heat shock protein 70's in Tribolium castaneum
(Herbst) and they were tentatively named as tchsp70 I, tchsc70 II, and tchsp70 III …

In this study we probe the molecular events underpinning diapause observed in
overwintering females of Culex pipiens. Using suppressive subtractive hybridization (SSH) …

Heat shock proteins (Hsps) are a ubiquitous component of the cellular response to stress in
both prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms, but their role and function during desiccation …
