Abstract excerpt
The sqt-1 gene is 1 of the several loci in Caenorhabditis elegans that primarily affects organismal morphology. Certain mutations in the sqt-1 gene can produce left roller animals, i.e., they rotate around their long axis and move in circular paths. We describe the morphological alterations seen in the cuticle of the left roller sqt-1(sc13). Deep-etched replica analyses showed that the fibrous layer is composed...
