Abstract
RNA interference (RNAi) is a highly specific and effective tool to eliminate or reduce
target mRNAs and thus proteins. In this study, RNAi was used to knockdown Hsp70 in
Artemia and to investigate Hsp70 function in embryo development, diapause
termination and stress tolerance, with the latter focused on thermotolerance and
protection against pathogenic Vibrio.
