Prolonged exposure to attractive odorant benzaldehyde results in a loss of adaptive response characterized by a decrease in odor seeking behavior and in a loss of egl-4 nuclear translocation. Loss of chemotaxis response to the repellent odor 2-nonanone (PubMed:23954825). Increased egg laying; eggs are prematurely laid at one-cell to 8-cell stage (PubMed:8548815). Increased locomotion (PubMed:8548815). Increases diacylglycerol (DAG) levels along axons. Increases paralysis following treatment with acetylcholinesterase inhibitor aldicarb which is partially reduced in a drn-1 mutant background (PubMed:22897658). In a mutant background which expresses gar-2 in all cholinergic motor neurons, eliminates the resistance to Aldicarb that is characteristic of the gar-2 single mutant (PubMed:18614679). Simultaneous RNAi-mediated knockdown of both goa-1 and gpa-16 causes, in the one-cell embryo, a lack of nuclear rocking movements from prophase to metaphase and symmetric spindle elongation without transversal oscillations of the poles during anaphase (PubMed:14534135). At the 2-cell stage embryo, nuclei are mispositioned and fail to exhibit nuclear rotation (PubMed:14534135). In addition, causes a loss of gpr-1/2 cortical localization in 2-cell and 4-cell stage embryos (PubMed:14534135). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14534135, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18614679, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22897658, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23954825, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8548815}. |
