Abstract excerpt
We describe interactions between maternal-effect lethal mutations in four genes of Caenorhabditis elegans whose products appear to be involved in the meiotic and mitotic divisions of the one-cell embryo. Mitosis is disrupted by two dominant temperature-sensitive gain-of-function maternal-effect lethal mutations, mei-1(ct46) and mel-26(ct61), and by recessive loss-of-function maternal-effect lethal mutations of...
