Mutations in the bli-4 (I) locus of Caenorhabditis elegans disrupt both adult cuticle and early larval development.

Genetics - 1 Sept 1991

Peters K, McDowall J, Rose A M

Abstract excerpt

The bli-4 (I) gene of Caenorhabditis elegans had been previously defined by a single recessive mutation, e937, which disrupts the structure of adult-stage cuticle causing the formation of fluid-filled separations of the cuticle layers, or blisters. We report the identification of 11 new alleles of bli-4, all early larval lethals, including an allele induced by transposon mutagenesis. Nine of the lethal alleles...
