Proteome Analysis Implicates Adaptive Changes in Metabolism and Body Wall Musculature of Caenorhabditis elegans Dauer Larva

Dauer larva is an alternative developmental stage of null Caenorhabditis elegans null ( C. elegans ) that occurs when the environmental condition is unfavorable for growth. Little is known regarding how the proteome of dauer larvae respond to  poor environmental growth conditions. Such knowledge is expected to help understand the survival mechanism(s) of dauer larvae. In order to uncover the proteome differences between dauer larvae and normally...
