WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr10798

• Pattern: lin-31p::cfp and LIN-12::GFP are expressed in multipotent VPCs during larval (L)2 stage and before induction in the L3 stage. lin-31p::cfp expression remains high in VPCs of dauer larvae. LIN-12::GFP remains expressed in VPCs in dauer larvae.
• Primary Identifier: Expr10798

	The second stage larva. At 25 Centigrade, it ranges 25.5-32.5 hours after fertilization, 11.5-18.5 hours after hatch.		L2 larva Ce	WBls:0000027
	A third stage larva specialized for dispersal and long term survival.		dauer larva Ce	WBls:0000032
	A special second stage larva with altered physiology and developmental potential that leads to formation of dauer larva. At 25 Centigrade, it ranges 25.5-32.5 hours after fertilization, 11.5-18.5 hours after hatch.		L2d larva Ce	WBls:0000046
	The stage when an animal shifts from L2d larva to dauer larva. It includes the synthesis of new cuticle, cease of pharyngeal pumping during a lethargus stage, and the shed off of old cuticle.		L2d-dauer molt Ce	WBls:0000031
