Modeling of components of desiccation stress in anhydrobiotic cells

Water loss represents one of most stressful conditions for living organisms. However, some organisms have an ability to survive full body desiccation and resume life cycle after water return. A larva of an African chironomid Polypedilum vanderplanki is the only one known insect with this ability. In

Regulation of thioredoxin genes expression in desiccation-tolerant insect Polypedilum vanderplanki

Polypedilum vanderplanki is the most complex organism able to survive desiccation. P. vanderplanki genome contains both common insect thioredoxin (TRX) genes and TRX genes specific for this insect [1]. We test our hypothesis that P. vanderplanki-specific TRX genes and common insect TRX genes differ
