Gene expression of Drosophila melanogaster in response to multiple cold exposures

ABSTRACT: In the field, insects suffer multiple cold exposures during winter. When exposed to repeated low temperatures, Drosophila melanogaster females showed an increase in survival, but a reduction in reproduction. In this study, the microarrays were used to analyze the gene expression of female D. melanogaster after multiple, single sustained (or single prolonged) and single short cold treatments, which exposed the flies at 0 M-0C for repeated 2 h, single 10 h and single 2 h respectively. Candidate genes that were involved in 6 h recovery from different types of cold exposures were identified. After repeated cold exposures, candidates particularly included genes involved in muscle protein and muscle activity. Stress-related genes, Turandot A, Turandot C, and Turandot M were up-regulated in respo
