Abstract excerpt
The genetic dissection of a simple avoidance reaction behavior in Paramecium tetraurelia has shown that ion channels are a critical molecular element in signal transduction. Pawn mutants, for example, were originally selected for their inability to swim backward, a trait that has since been shown to result from the loss of a voltage-dependent calcium current. The several genes defined by this phenotype were...
