Abstract excerpt
A central problem in sensory system biology is the identification of the signal transduction pathways used in different sensory modalities. Genetic analysis of transduction mutants provides a means of studying in vivo the contributions of different pathways. This report shows that odorant response in one olfactory organ of Drosophila melanogaster depends on the norpA phospholipase C (EC 3.1.4.3) gene, providing...
