THE GENETICS OF DEET-RESISTANCE IN CAENORHABDITIS ELEGANS
The molecular mechanism(s) by which DEET (N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide) acts as an insect "repellent" has not been resolved. Using forward genetic screens in Caenorhabditis elegans, we have isolated five DEET-resistant mutants (der-1) after EMS mutagenesis of DEET-sensitive N2. Two are allelic...
