Innovative Observation of a 266-nm Laser Inhibiting Egg Laying in Caenorhabditis elegans
نویسندگان
چکیده
Infrared laser as a heat source could induce gene expression by activating promoter genes in Caenorhabditis elegans, previously reported. In this study, we innovatively used 266-nm to irradiate C. elegans for only one second and observed significant inhibition of the overall number eggs laid (P < 0.0001) first day egg laying (P=0.005). This is study establish how light with wavelength can influence life activity such elegans.

Egg-laying defective mutants of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans.
We have isolated 145 fertile mutants of C. elegans that are defective in egg laying and have characterized 59 of them genetically, behaviorally and pharmacologically. These 59 mutants define 40 new genes called egl. for egg-laying abnormal. Most of the other mutants are defective in previously identified genes. The egl mutants differ with respect to the severity of their egg-laying defects and ...
متن کاملEffect of a neuropeptide gene on behavioral states in Caenorhabditis elegans egg-laying.
Egg-laying behavior in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans involves fluctuation between alternative behavioral states: an inactive state, during which eggs are retained in the uterus, and an active state, during which eggs are laid in bursts. We have found that the flp-1 gene, which encodes a group of structurally related neuropeptides, functions specifically to promote the switch from the inac...
متن کاملGenes affecting the activity of nicotinic receptors involved in Caenorhabditis elegans egg-laying behavior.
Egg-laying behavior in Caenorhabditis elegans is regulated by multiple neurotransmitters, including acetylcholine and serotonin. Agonists of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors such as nicotine and levamisole stimulate egg laying; however, the genetic and molecular basis for cholinergic neurotransmission in the egg-laying circuitry is not well understood. Here we describe the egg-laying phenotype...
متن کاملCaenorhabditis elegans mutants defective in the functioning of the motor neurons responsible for egg laying.
We have isolated and characterized 45 Caenorhabditis elegans mutants presumed to be defective in the functioning of the hermaphrodite-specific neurons (HSNs). Like hermaphrodites that lack the HSN motor neurons, these mutants are egg-laying defective and do not lay eggs in response to exogenous imipramine but do lay eggs in response to exogenous serotonin. Twenty of the 45 mutations define 10 n...
متن کاملSerotonin modulates locomotory behavior and coordinates egg-laying and movement in Caenorhabditis elegans.
Biogenic amines have been implicated in the modulation of neural circuits involved in diverse behaviors in a wide variety of organisms. In the nematode C. elegans, serotonin has been shown to modulate the temporal pattern of egg-laying behavior. Here we show that serotonergic neurotransmission is also required for modulation of the timing of behavioral events associated with locomotion and for ...
