Abstract excerpt
In C. elegans development, unfavorable growth conditions lead a larva to an arrested and enduring form called a dauer. To elucidate components upstream of DAF-7/TGF-beta in this control pathway, we isolated a mutant that was defective in daf-7 promoter::gfp reporter expression and showed an arrested (dauer-constitutive) phenotype. It has a new mutation in the daf-11 gene encoding a transmembrane guanylyl cyclase....
