“…In insects, it is a major haemolymph sugar, serving as a prime source of energy for flight and tolerance to stress (Becker, Schlöder, Steele, & Wegener, ). The elucidation of trehalose metabolism has been one of the most exciting developments in our understanding of insect metabolism in recent years (Adhav et al, ; Cornette et al, ). A number of studies have demonstrated a correlation between intracellular trehalose levels and the ability of insects to survive various environmental stresses, such as starvation, osmotic and oxidative stresses, and extremes in temperature (Benoit, Lopez‐Martinez, Elnitsky, Lee, & Denlinger, ; Cornette et al, ; Juliano, O'Meara, Morrill, & Cutwa, ).…”
