Abstract excerpt
The chemotactic behavior of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans to chemical attractants, water-soluble sodium acetate and odorant diacetyl, was investigated using nematodes at various developmental stages to examine the effects of postembryonic development on chemotactic response and spontaneous locomotion. The chemotactic responses to attractants increased as development progressed, and the largest responses to...
