At the nonpermissive temperature,
glp-4(
bn2ts) mutants produce a somatic gonad that is largely devoid of germ cells,
fem-2(
e2105ts) mutants make oocytes but no sperm, and
fem-3(
q20sd) mutants make sperm but no oocytes.
gla-3 expression was detected in all three mutant backgrounds, demonstrating that
gla-3 is expressed in both germline and soma.
