Combinatorial specification of blastomere identity by glp-1-dependent cellular interactions in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans.

Development (Cambridge, England) - 1 Nov 1994

Moskowitz I P, Gendreau S B, Rothman J H

Abstract excerpt

Most somatic cells in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans arise from AB, the anterior blastomere of the 2-cell embryo. While the daughters of AB, ABa and ABp, are equivalent in potential at birth, they adopt different fates as a result of their unique positions. One such difference is that the distribution of epidermal precursors arising from ABp is reversed along the anterior-posterior axis relative to those...
