Abstract: Research has been conducted on the chemoreceptor gene subset in Caenorhabditis elegans. The role of the daf-7 TGF-beta pathway in expression regulation of this subset has been invstigated and the results demonstrate that the expression of the individual chemoreceptor genes in C. elegans is subject to multiple regulation modes.
