| Summary | C. elegans male tail contains four types of male-specific sensilla, the most prominent of which are the rays. These 18 sensory rays convey mechano- and chemosensory information critical to male mating. Each ray is composed of three cells: RnA: A-type sensory neuron; RnB: B-type sensory neuron; and Rnst: ray structural cell, which are derived from one neuroblast, the ray precursor cell called Rn. Each ray is morphologically and molecularly distinct from each other. Most all ray identity follows a determinate cell lineage model where cell identity is established based on the pattern of cell division; ray 5 does require external cues from a TGF-beta signalling pathway to adopt its final fate. | ||||
