PatternLSL-1 is detected in cells marked by the presence of P granules, namely in the P4 blastomere and later on in PGCs Z2 and Z3 throughout embryogenesis. During larval development and adult stage, LSL-1 is observed in proliferative germline nuclei and in pachytene and diplotene stage nuclei. LSL-1::GFP signal disappears at the late diplotene stage and is barely detectable in oocytes and sperm. LSL-1 was not detected in somatic cells, including the gonadal sheath cells and the distal tip cel. These results indicate that lsl-1 is spe- cifically expressed in germ cells throughout development and is essential for the production of functional gametes.
