Abstract excerpt
Genetic approaches are beginning to provide valuable insights into the function of specific gene products in olfaction. Analysis of Drosophila mutants that affect olfactory responses are defining components of the olfactory signaling mechanisms. Mutations in the genes paralytic and Scutoid cause...
