Genetics of phototaxis in a model eukaryote, Dictyostelium discoideum.

BioEssays : news and reviews in molecular, cellular and developmental biology - 1 May 1997

Fisher P R

Abstract excerpt

The life cycle of Dictyostelium discoideum offers a unique opportunity to study signal transduction in eukaryotic cells at both the unicellular and multicellular levels of organization. Adding to the already extensive knowledge of the unicellular stages, classical and molecular genetics have begun to unravel transduction of signals controlling morphogenesis and behaviour (phototaxis and thermotaxis) in the...
