Interacting genes in nematode dauer larva formation

Interacting genes in nematode dauer larva formation

D L Riddle et al. Nature. .

Abstract

The dauer larva of Caenorhabditis elegans is a developmentally arrested stage induced by starvation or overcrowding. Mutant genes controlling the ability to form dauer larvae interact in a way which allows them to be ordered in a pathway. Mutant phenotypes suggest that the pathway corresponds to neural processing of environmental stimuli.
