Phototransduction and light-iinducted mitochondrial activation in blowfly compound eyes

The present thesis considered two aspects of phototransduction in the blowfly Calliphora vicina mutant chalky. First, we studied the mechanism of the basis process, conversion of light to an electrical signal. And second, we examined the light-induced actvation of mitochrondial respiration, necessary to support phototransduction. Zie: Summar
