| Pattern | elt-1 reporter gene expression was first seen around the 20-30 cell stage and was maintained during subsequent early embryogenesis in cells corresponding to hypodermal precursor cells. Just prior to morphogenesis, reporter gene expression could be seen in all the major hypodermal cell nuclei. During formation of the comma stage, embryo reporter gene expression declined in the dorsal and ventral hypodermis but remained high in the lateral seam cells. The seam-cell expression of the reporter gene continued throughout morphogenesis to the pretzel stage although at lower levels. In addition, at the threefold stage of development high levels of expression were seen in a group of cells adjacent to the pharynx in a position consistent with neuronal cells of the retrovesicular ganglion. During postembryonic development relatively low levels of expression were maintained in seam cells from the L1 to the adult stage as were high levels of ELT-1 in neuronal cells of the retrovesicular ganglion. ELT-1 expression was also clearly apparent in several different groups of neuronal cell bodies and axons; those of the ventral cord were the most prominent. Expression was also seen in several neurons in which the axon extended from the ventral cord and encircled the pharynx just in front of the posterior bulb.The reporter gene also showed postembryonic expression in sex-specific structures. In hermaphrodites, ELT-1 expression was seen in the vulval muscles (vm1 and vm2) and in males, in a subset of the lateral seam, the SET cells, that give rise to the sensory rays. | |||
