Abstract excerpt
One of the best known features of vulva development in Caenorhabditis elegans is the induction of vulval precursor cells by the gonadal anchor cell. Induction is crucial for the initiation of pattern formation within the C. elegans vulva equivalence group, and it is therefore surprising to find t...
