Abstract excerpt
Caenorhabditis elegans male tail has nine pairs of bilaterally symmetric ray processes extended into a cuticular fan. The formation of these structures involves both cell lineage differentiation and cellular morphogenesis. Nine mutations were examined, all of which presented an amorphous ray phenotype. Glycoconjugates carrying an N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) epitope were detected at a high level in their male...
