The genetics and cell biology of spermatogenesis in the nematode C. elegans.

Abstract excerpt

Creation of mutants that affect spermatogenesis is very challenging in most experimental systems, especially mammals. The main reason this is true is because "absence of successful mating" is a negative result that can occur for a wide variety of trivial, irrelevant reasons. The C. elegans hermaphroditic mode of reproduction has unusual features that facilitate analysis of spermatogenesis. Normally,...
