Anopheles gambiae embryos: developmental time course
Summary:
Analysis of embryos from fertilization to 52h of development. Desiccation resistance develops 8-14h after egglaying and coincides with serosal cuticle formation. These, together with embryonic serosa results, provide insight into the molecular basis for the drought tolerance of A. gambiae embryos.
