Mutations affecting the meiotic and mitotic divisions of the early Caenorhabditis elegans embryo.

Genetics - 1 Nov 1990

Mains P E, Kemphues K J, Sprunger S A, Sulston I A, Wood W B

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 l...
