  Pattern: Transgenic worms expressing this fusion had GFP fluorescence in uterine and vulval muscles, in the enteric motor neurons AVL and DVB, and in several additional neuron classes. No expression was evident in any known egg-laying motor neurons or any of the enteric muscles. Expression in the egg-laying muscles was first seen in young adults and increased with age. Vulval muscle expression was more evident than uterine muscle expression, perhaps due to the anatomy of the thin uterine muscles. Expression in the enteric motor neuron AVL was first seen in L1 larvae, while expression in the motor neuron DVB was first seen in L2 larvae, consistent with its postembryonic origin during the L1 stage. Other cells that express the GFP transgene include the bilateral neurons ADE, PDE, and ALN; the pharyngeal neurons M3L, M3R, and I6; and the two distal tip cells of the gonad. Expression in all of the neurons was evident in L1 or L2 stage larvae and subsequently changed little, but expression in the distal tip cells was not observed until the adult stage.
