Control of larval development by chemosensory neurons in Caenorhabditis elegans.

Science (New York, N.Y.) - 8 Mar 1991

Bargmann C I, Horvitz H R

Abstract excerpt

Larval development of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is controlled by the activities of four classes of chemosensory neurons. The choice between normal development and development into a specialized larval form called a dauer larva is regulated by competing environmental stimuli: food and a dauer pheromone. When the neuron classes ADF, ASG, ASI, and ASJ are killed, animals develop as dauer larvae regardless...
