Surviving extreme polar winters by desiccation: clues from Arctic springtail (Onychiurus arcticus) EST libraries

Melody S Clark, Michael AS Thorne, Jelena Purać, Gordana Grubor-Lajšić, Michael Kube, Richard Reinhardt, M Roger Worland BMC Genomics 2007, 8:475 (21 December 2007)

The Arctic springtail survives extreme polar winters by minimizing its water content, and analysis of ESTs highlights the importance of aquaporins, the trehalose pathway, antioxidants and moulting genes in dehydration and recovery.
