Larvae of Drosophila melanogaster exhibit transcriptional activation of immune response pathways and antimicrobial peptides during recovery from supercooling stress

ABSTRACT: The biochemical and molecular mechanisms of insect cold acclimation prior to cold stress have been relatively well explored. The mechanisms linked to recovery and repair after cold stress received much less attention.Here we focus on recovery from cold stress in the larvae of vinegar fly (Drosophila melanogaster) that were exposed to two physiologically distinct cold stress situations; supercooling (S, survival > 90%) and freezing (F, survival < 10%), both at -5°C.The transcriptomic responses to cold stress were analyzed.
