| Pattern | In adult C. elegans, klp-18 mRNA expression is strongest in the female germ line. In glp-4 hermaphrodites, which have a severely under-proliferated germ line, no klp-18 transcript is detectable. In fem-2 hermaphrodites, which produce only oocytes, klp-18 transcript is present at high levels, and in fem-3 gain-of-function hermaphrodites, which produce only sperm, it is present at approximately wild-type levels. Additional northern blot analysis revealed increasing klp-18 transcript levels at progressively later stages of wild-type larval development. This increase is likely due to a growing population of germ cells. | |||
