The process by which the growth of pollen tube is directed towards the female gametophyte. The directed movement of a motile cell or organism towards a higher concentration of a chemical on, within or near a second organism, where the two organisms are in a symbiotic interaction. The directed movement of a motile cell or organism in response to an external stimulus. The creation and reception of signals that guide a precerebellar neuron towards their signals, where this process is involved in tangential migration. The creation and reception of signals that result in the movement of interneurons toward the signal, where this process is involved in migration from the subpallium to the cortex. The directed movement of a germ cell from their site of production to the gonad, through the attraction of cells towards their target. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of the directed movement of a motile cell or organism towards a higher concentration in a concentration gradient of a specific chemical. A change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a chemical stimulus. The process by which a branchiomotor neuron growth cone is directed to a specific target site in response to an attractive chemical signal. Branchiomotor neurons are located in the hindbrain and innervate branchial arch-derived muscles that control jaw movements, facial expression, the larynx, and the pharynx. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the directed movement of a motile cell or organism towards a higher concentration in a concentration gradient of a specific chemical. The creation and reception of signals that result in the migration of interneurons up a concentration gradient towards the olfactory bulb. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the directed movement of a motile cell or organism towards a higher concentration in a concentration gradient of a specific chemical. The directed movement of a motile cell or organism, or the directed growth of a cell guided by a higher concentration, in a concentration gradient of a specific chemical. The directed movement of a motile cell or organism, or the directed growth of a cell guided by a specific chemical concentration gradient. Movement may be towards a higher concentration (positive chemotaxis) or towards a lower concentration (negative chemotaxis). The directed movement of a motile cell or organism towards a higher concentration of environmental oxygen. The process by which a neuronal cell in a multicellular organism recognizes chemoattractant signals from, and grows towards, potential targets.
