Table 1.
Diapause upregulated genes from Cx. pipiens, isolated by suppressive subtractive hybridization. Percent identities, organisms, and accession nos. were retrieved from GenBank (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/BLAST/). In the blast column, “n” and “x” indicate putative identities obtained through a nucleotide (BLASTn) and/or translation (BLASTx) query, respectively. Confirmation by northern blot is indicated by an “X” in early (18°C, short daylength; 7–10 days post adult eclosion) and late (18°C, short daylength; 56–59 days post adult eclosion) diapause, ED and LD, respectively.
