Abstract

Chlamydomonas has long been a favourite organism for genetic and biochemical studies of flagellar motility and assembly, photosynthesis, and organelle genomes. With the recent development of procedures for the efficient transformation of its nuclear genome, Chlamydomonas has become accessible to a wide range of molecular genetic approaches, including gene tagging by insertional mutagenesis and cloning by complementation. The availability of these powerful techniques is stimulating interest in Chlamydomonas as a model system for research in areas where it previously has not been widely exploited. One such area that holds particular promise is phototransduction and the behavioural response to light.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Various single-celled eukaryotes (protists) and ciliated larvae of sponges devoid of neurons can display sophisticated behaviours, including phototaxis, gravitaxis or chemotaxis.

  • The single-celled Chlamydomonas, the multicellular Volvox or the larvae of the annelid Platynereis all orient very quickly and precisely along the light vector, usually within a few helical turns.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
