This study examines the role of the gene in chemotaxis of to volatile odorants. Compared to wild type worms, mutants showed no difference in chemotaxis to the AWC-specific odorant, isoamyl alcohol but a significant decrease in chemotaxis compared to mutants. Both and mutants exhibited significant decreases in chemotaxis to AWA-specific odorants, pyrazine and diacetyl. For thiazole, which is sensed by both AWA and AWC neurons, only mutants showed significantly decreased chemotaxis. These data demonstrate is required for chemotaxis to AWA- but not AWC-specific odorants, the mechanisms of which should be investigated.
本研究考察了该基因在[生物名称]对挥发性气味剂趋化作用中的作用。与野生型蠕虫相比,[突变体名称1]突变体对AWC特异性气味剂异戊醇的趋化作用没有差异,但与[突变体名称2]突变体相比,趋化作用显著降低。[突变体名称1]和[突变体名称2]突变体对AWA特异性气味剂吡嗪和双乙酰的趋化作用均显著降低。对于AWA和AWC神经元都能感知的噻唑,只有[突变体名称3]突变体的趋化作用显著降低。这些数据表明,对AWA特异性气味剂而非AWC特异性气味剂的趋化作用需要[基因名称],其机制有待研究。
