Abstract:
This chapter covers methodologies and materials commonly used for investigating chemotaxis behavior by odorants in Caenorhabditis elegans. Emphasis is placed on the role of odorants and their influence on the animal's physiology. Detailed assays are presented describing how to study the effects of odorants on worms' physiology and alterations in gene expression, particularly related to stress responses.
