Identification and Sequence Determination of mRNAs Detected in Dormant (Diapausing) Aedes triseriatus Mosquito Embryos
1 Jan 2001
Abstract excerpt
Many insects survive adverse climatic conditions in a dormant state known as diapause. In this study, we identified and sequenced several mRNAs in diapausing Aedes triseriatus mosquito embryos. Using reverse-transcription PCR and 5' RACE, we identified a 995-nucleotide cDNA that encodes a 259-amino acid protein of unknown function. This putative protein displays strong sequence similarity to Drosophila...
