Fertilized oocytes of the brine shrimpArtemia franciscanaundergo either ovoviviparous or
oviparous development, yielding free-swimming larvae (nauplii) or encysted gastrulae …

Molecular chaperones protect cells during stress by limiting the denaturation/aggregation of
proteins and facilitating their renaturation. In this context, brine shrimp embryos can endure …

Embryos of the crustacean, Artemia franciscana, undergo alternative developmental
pathways, producing either larvae or encysted embryos (cysts). The cysts enter diapause …

Oviparously developing embryos of the brine shrimp, Artemia franciscana, synthesize
abundant quantities of a small heat shock/α‐crystallin protein, termed p26. Wild‐type p26 …

Encysted embryos of the primitive crustacean, Artemia franciscana, are among the most
resistant of all animal life history stages to extremes of environmental stress. This resistance …

Small heat shock/α-crystallin proteins function as molecular chaperones, protecting other
proteins from irreversible denaturation by an energy-independent process. The brine …

Encysted brine‐shrimp gastrulae bring their metabolism to a reversible standstill during
diapause and quiescence, demonstrating a remarkable resistance to unfavourable …

Artemia franciscana embryos undergo encystment, developmental arrest and diapause, the
last characterized by profound metabolic dormancy and extreme stress resistance. Encysted …

The role of the small heat shock/α-crystallin protein, p26, in transcription in Artemia
franciscana embryos was examined using isolated nuclei, containing either control or …

Cells of encysted embryos of Artemia franciscana, the brine shrimp, are among the most
resistant of all animal cells to extremes of environmental stress. We focus here on their …
