WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr943

• Pattern: Both hermaphrodites and males expressed GFP in a group of cells around the pharyngeal corpus, which represented either the sheath or socket cells (PDEso) in the tail, as defined by their openings, position and morphology. GFP expression in these sensory support cells was detected soon after their birth and was maintained into adulthood. A GFP signal was detected in all the ray structure cells of the male tail, but not in the hypodermal tissue. Expression in nine pairs of structure cells began just prior to the ray retraction period, peaked during the retraction and declined upon completion of ray extension.
• Primary Identifier: Expr943
• Remark: The same pattern of expression was also noted when a genomic fragment spanning nucleotides I-1630 was used to drive the GFP reporter.
