Abstract excerpt
We recently showed that egl-4 mutants in Caenorhabditis elegans have a much larger body size and that the egl-4 gene encodes cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinases (G-kinases). Cell sizes, but not cell numbers, in the major organs are increased in the mutants. Genetic interaction studies suggest th...
