Abstract

The transient receptor potential (TRP) eld began (for reviews see Minke, 2010; Montell, 2011; Hardie, 2011) with the analysis of a spontaneously formed Drosophila mutant showing transient, rather than sustained, responses to prolonged intense illumination in electroretinogram (ERG) measurements, rendering the ies effectively blind (Cosens and Manning, 1969). Cosens and Manning (1969) isolated this mutant, designated this strain the “A-type” mutant, and attributed its phenotype to a failure of photopigment regeneration (Cosens, 1971). The isolation of this mutant, though potentially interesting, raised a number of concerns at the time. One main concern was that the results.
