PatternGFP expression was seen in hypodermal seam cells. This expression began in the mid-L1 stage and was present in all larval stages and the adult. GFP expression was seen in sheath cells of the somatic gonad. Expression was also seen in a subset of ventral cord neurons (VCNs) and in the anchor cell of the gonad that was not previously observed with antibody staining or a BAR-1 translational GFP reporter. Expression is seen in 7 to 15 neurons between the posterior bulb of the pharynx and the anus in L1 animals 1 h after hatching, indicating that some embryonically derived neurons in the ventral cord are expressing bar-1. During the rest of the L1 and L2 stages, the number of GFP-expressing neurons increases to 20 40 per animal. By the L4 stage, the number of ventral cord neurons showing GFP expression anterior to the vulva is 0 9, and posterior to the vulva is 11 24.
In regard to vulval development, GFP expression from the transcriptional fusion was first seen in Pn.p cells after their birth in the L1 stage. This expression persisted in the L2 and L3 stages and continued throughout the divisions of the VPCs until the early L4 stage. In the adult, strong GFP expression is confined to the vulval muscles, but faint expression is still seen in adult vulval cells.
