Abstract excerpt
The invariant cell-cell interactions occurring during C. elegans development offer unique opportunities to discover how growing axons may receive guidance cues from neighboring cells. The mnm-2 mutant was isolated because of its defects in the axon trajectory of the bilateral M2 pharyngeal neurons in C. elegans. We found that mnm-2 enhances the effects of many growth cone guidance mutations on these axons,...
