Figure 1

olrn-1 mutants have two AWCOFF neurons. (a,b) str-2::GFP expression in (a) wild type and (b) olrn-1(ky626) animals. Arrowhead, AWC; arrow, dim str-2::GFP expression in ASI. (c) Chemotaxis of wild-type and olrn-1(ky626) animals to the AWCOFF sensed odorant 2,3-pentanedione (pd) and the AWCON sensed odorant butanone (bu). A chemotaxis index of 1 indicates that 100% of animals approached the odorant, while a chemotaxis index of 0 represents random behavior. Error bars indicate standard error of the mean. (d) odr-1::DsRed is expressed in both AWC neurons (arrowheads) of olrn-1 mutants, a pattern identical to the wild-type pattern. (e,f) str-2::DsRed; srsx-3::GFP expression in (e) wild type and (f) olrn-1(ky626) mutant animals. Arrowheads indicate AWCs; dots indicate AWBs. Scale bars, 20 μm. Images are stacked confocal images.
