gene expression under low humidity conditions in woodlice

Abstract

the genetic regulation of low humidity response in woodlice is a topic of great interest that should be investigated, therefore we aimed at analyzing gene expression patterns in common rough woodlice. Our results summarized that we could not find any relationship between the tested gene HSP 40 and the desiccation tolerance. The results encourages us to further investigate more genes that could be regulating the low humidity stress response in woodlice.
