PatternGFP expression is detectable in comma stage embryos with strongest expression in the tail region. The distinct subcellular localization makes it difficult to confirm cell identities, but overall expression is comparable to the plr-1::GFP promoter construct. Postembryonical GFP expression in the head region seems restricted to some neurons and the posterior region of the pharynx. Expression was not readily detectable in hypodermal or body wall muscle cells with this construct postembryonically. Expression of the PLR-1::GFP fusion protein, however, is detectable in the AVG neuron and also in the excretory cell. This suggests that the promoter construct lacks some control elements. Since the GFP expression of the fusion protein is significantly lower than the expression of the promoter construct, it is possible that low levels of expression in tissues and cells expressing the plr-1::GFP transcriptional reporter remain undetectable.
