npr-1 Regulates foraging and dispersal strategies in Caenorhabditis elegans.

Current biology : CB - 11 Nov 2008

Gloria-Soria Andrea, Azevedo Ricardo B R

Abstract excerpt

Wild isolates of Caenorhabditis elegans differ in their tendency to aggregate on food [1, 2]. Most quantitative variation in this behavior is explained by a polymorphism at a single amino acid in the G protein-coupled receptor NPR-1: gregarious strains carry the 215F allele, and solitary strains carry the 215V allele [2]. Although npr-1 regulates a behavioral syndrome with potential adaptive implications, the...
