Abstract excerpt
Developmental plasticity allows organisms to adapt to environmental stressors and improve fitness. Caenorhabditis elegans can enter an alternative larval stage, the dauer, marked by developmental quiescence and complete transcriptomic remodeling. The energy modulator AMPK is required for animals to passage through dauer while preserving germline quiescence. Without AMPK, dauer animals exhibit reproductive...
