| Research Abstract |
To analysis the functions of trehalose and four LEA proteins in the dried state of an anhydrobiotic chironomid, Polypedilum vanderplanki larva, desiccation-related genes were introduced into Drosophila melanogaster. The adult flies expressing four LEA protein genes had no additional tolerance for desiccation ; moreover, PvLEA1-expressed male fly presented the sensitivity for desiccation. This suggests that PvLEA proteins concern with desiccation tolerance of P. vanderplanki indirectly.
