Functional circadian clock genes are essential for the overwintering diapause of the Northern house mosquito, Culex pipiens.
The short day lengths of late summer are used to program the overwintering adult diapause (dormancy) of the Northern house mosquito, Culex pipiens. Here, we investigated the role of clock genes in initiating this diapause and asked whether the circadian cycling of clock gene expression persists during diapause. We provide evidence that the major circadian clock genes continue to cycle throughou...
متن کاملAssociation between Circadian Clock Genes and Diapause Incidence in Drosophila triauraria
Diapause is an adaptive response triggered by seasonal photoperiodicity to overcome unfavorable seasons. The photoperiodic clock is a system that controls seasonal physiological processes, but our knowledge about its physiological mechanisms and genetic architecture remains incomplete. The circadian clock is another system that controls daily rhythmic physiological phenomena. It has been argued...
متن کاملCircadian clock genes in Drosophila: recent developments.
Circadian rhythms provide a temporal framework to living organisms and are established in a majority of eukaryotes and in a few prokaryotes. The molecular mechanisms of circadian clock is constantly being investigated in Drosophila melanogaster. The core of the clock mechanism was described by a transcription-translation feedback loop model involving period (per), timeless (tim), dclock and cyc...
متن کاملDifferential expression of circadian clock genes in two strains of beetles reveals candidates related to photoperiodic induction of summer diapause.
Diapause (also known as dormancy) is a state of arrested development induced by photoperiod or temperature that allows insects to survive adverse environmental conditions. By regulating diapause induction, the circadian clock is involved in short-day-induced winter diapause but whether this is also the case in long-day (LD)-induced summer diapause remains unknown. The cabbage beetle Colaphellus...
متن کاملDoing It Again and Again May Be Difficult, But It Depends on What You Are Doing
Sentence interpretation is integrating the information of incoming lexical items into a coherent whole. But often the pieces of information do not fit together and have to be shifted in meaning to confirm with the rest of the sentence. These shifts are called coercion (Moens & Steedman, 1988; Pustejovsky, 1995). There is a growing body of experimental work that investigates the processing conse...
