Heat shock protection against cold stress of Drosophila melanogaster.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Heat shock protein synthesis can be induced during recovery from cold treatment of Drosophila melanogaster larvae. Survival of larvae after a cold treatment is dramatically improved by a mild heat shock just before the cold shock. The conditions which induce tolerance to cold are similar to those which confer tolerance to heat.

Resistance to stress as a function of age in transgenic Drosophila melanogaster overexpressing Hsp70.
This study investigated the resistance to stress as a function of age in Drosophila melanogaster overexpressing Hsp70. The resistances to starvation, paraquat, and cold in flies from 1 to 7 week-old have been measured. The line carrying the insertion vector without the transgenes is more resistant to starvation and cold than the parental and transgenic lines. In contrast, transgenic flies carry...
متن کاملCold hardening and transcriptional change in Drosophila melanogaster.
Cold hardening treatment - a brief exposure to low temperatures - can protect certain insects against subsequent exposure to temperatures sufficiently low to cause damage or lethality. Microarray analysis to examine the changes in transcript abundance associated with cold hardening treatment (0 degrees C for 2 h followed by 30 min recovery at 25 degrees C) was undertaken in Drosophila melanogas...
متن کاملWolbachia effects in Drosophila melanogaster: in search of fitness benefits.
Insect endosymbionts often influence host nutrition but these effects have not been comprehensively investigated in Wolbachia endosymbionts that are widespread in insects. Using strains of Drosophila melanogaster with the wMel Wolbachia infection, we showed that Wolbachia did not influence adult starvation resistance. Wolbachia also had no effect on larval development time or the size of emergi...
متن کاملDownregulation of hsp22 gene expression in Drosophila melanogaster from sites located near chemical plants.
A common physiological response of organisms to environmental conditions is variation in gene expression, especially true for genes encoding for heat shock proteins. In insects, this process has been examined for induced heat or cold stress. The putative long-term imprinted/acquired heat shock protein response due to unfriendly environmental conditions has been far less studied. The Drosop...
متن کاملRapid cold-hardening of Drosophila melanogaster (Diptera: Drosophiladae) during ecologically based thermoperiodic cycles.
In contrast to most studies of rapid cold-hardening, in which abrupt transfers to low temperatures are used to induce an acclimatory response, the primary objectives of this study were to determine (i) whether rapid cold-hardening was induced during the cooling phase of an ecologically based thermoperiod, (ii) whether the protection afforded was lost during warming or contributed to increased c...
