Abstract excerpt
In the nematode, C. elegans, the bZIP/homeodomain transcription factor SKN-1 and the Wnt effector TCF/POP-1 are central to the maternal specification of the endomesoderm prior to gastrulation. The 8-cell stage blastomere MS is primarily a mesodermal precursor, giving rise to cells of the pharynx and body muscle among others, while its sister E clonally generates the entire endoderm (gut). In C. elegans, loss of...
