WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr10005

• Pattern: At the onset of pocket closure, the plx-2 reporter expresses in six blast cells (and sporadically in a seventh) on the surface of the open ventral pocket, five of which, after dividing, form a band of ten PLX-2/plexin expressing plexin band cells that extends across the midline spanning the open pocket. At the onset of pocket closure, the plx-2 reporters express in right and left side analogs of QV5 and P cells P3/4, P5/6, P9/10, P11/12. The reporter also expresses in bridge and scaffold cells, which together comprise a band of PLX-2 and VAB-1 expressing cells that cross the open pocket. Expression in all of these cells continues throughout pocket closure and beyond. Among the P cells, expression is most prominent in P9/10 right (R) and left (L).
