WBbiopr:00000053Public_nameResponse to thermal stress
SummaryThermal stress can occur whenever the temperature exceeds the optimal for the animal. In C. elegans at least one response to heat stress involves activation of heat shock proteins that provide protection from cellular damage induced by the elevated temperature. If heat stress occurs during the L1 stage of development, the nematode can enter dauer stage rather than continue to develop to reproductive maturity.
