Expression Pattern :

Pattern  In males, dmd-3::YFP was expressed in a number of sexually dimorphic or sex-specific cells, including the tail tip, hindgut, B lineage, ray RnA neurons and somatic gonad. By contrast, hermaphrodites exhibited strong dmd-3::YFP expression only in the anchor cell. Non-sex-specific expression of these reporters was weak, occurring primarily in the body hypodermis. In addition, expression in phasmid neurons of both sexes was sometimes seen during L3 and L4. In hyp8 to 11, dmd-3::YFP expression was male specific and coincided with morphogenesis. Tail tip expression initiated in early-mid L4 males, first in hyp8, hyp9 and hyp11, and shortly thereafter in hyp10. Authors occasionally observed weak expression in hyp9 in late L3 males. Expression levels peaked during tail tip retraction and decreased rapidly upon its completion. dmd-3 was also expressed in hyp13. Importantly, dmd-3::YFP was not expressed in hermaphrodite hyp8 to 11 at any stage. Primary Identifier  Expr8158

A chain of very large cuboidal cells forming a wide central lumen in which food arrives from the posterior pharynx, is digested, and from which waste products proceed to the rectum. Intestinal rings form in groups of two and four cells surrounding the common lumen; thus the epithelium is only one cell deep at any point, with neighboring cells firmly secured to their neighbors by apical adherens junctions. These cells have very large nuclei and many large vacuoles, yolk granules, and other inclusions; the latter increase in number and electron density as the animal ages. intestine gut WBbt:0005772
