Novel components of the dauer larva developmental signaling pathway in Caenorhabditis elegans
In harsh conditions Caenorhabditis elegans arrests development to enter a nonaging, resistant diapause state called the dauer larva. Olfactory sensation modulates the TGF-β and insulin-like signaling pathways to control this developmental decision. The dauer pheromone is required for formation of da...
