Fig. 5. Expression of the small hsp, hsp70 and hsp90 transcripts in fourth instar Belgica antarctica larvae in response to desiccation. Lanes represent RNA samples from larvae desiccated for different durations at 0, 75 and 98.2% relative humidity (RH). 28s ribosomal RNA was used as a control to confirm equal sample loading. Each sample was run in triplicate.
