WormMine: LifeStage WBls:0000043

• Definition: The stage when an animal shifts from L1 larva to L2d larva. It includes the synthesis of new cuticle, cease of phrayngeal pumping during a lethargus stage, and the shed off of old cuticle.
• Primary Identifier: WBls:0000043
• Public Name: L1-L2d molt Ce

• Primary Identifier: Expr11043
• Pattern: F48A11.1 was expressed specifically in the period immediately preceding each moult. Expression appeared limited to the pharynx and specifically to the glandular cells g1 and g2 (5 nuclei) in the terminal bulb, the three m4 myo-epithelial cells (6 nuclei) in the metacorpus and the three m3 myo-epithelial cells (6 nuclei) in the pro- corpus. No GFP was detected elsewhere in transgenic nematodes despite careful examination of the reproductive tissues and intestine.
