COX6B1 and cyst: Moreover, high expression of diapause-associated genes (HSP70, HSP90, GST7, soma ferritin, and CHIT3)37,38,53,54 and the low expression of genes associated with physiological activity (ATP5MG, COX6B1, and CDK)55–57 in the cyst stage further suggest the preservation of a diapause-like state.
