Regulation of Caenorhabditis elegans body size and male tail development by the novel gene lon-8.

BMC developmental biology - 20 Mar 2007

Soete Gwen, Betist Marco C, Korswagen Hendrik C

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: In C. elegans and other nematode species, body size is determined by the composition of the extracellular cuticle as well as by the nuclear DNA content of the underlying hypodermis. Mutants that are defective in these processes can exhibit either a short or a long body size phenotype. Several mutations that give a long body size (Lon) phenotype have been characterized and found to be regulated by the...
