PatternDAF-6::GFP was expressed in the sheath and socket cells, as well as in the excretory canal at all stages of animals. In dauers, DAF-6::GFP expression in these cells was dramatically reduced/eliminated, although a pair of small puncta at the tip of the sheath cells remained in some animals, and most of the animals failed dye filling. At the same time, DAF-6::GFP colocalized with a dauer-specific cuticular structure called dauer alae. DAF-6::GFP expression in the sheath and socket cells was fully restored within 24 h when dauers were allowed to recover under optimal growth conditions, coincident with recovery of dye filling.
