Abstract excerpt
Establishment of the gut founder cell (E) in C. elegans involves an interaction between the P2 and the EMS cell at the four cell stage. Here I show that the fate of only one daughter of EMS, the E cell, is affected by this induction. In the absence of the P2-EMS interaction, both E and its sister cell, MS, produce pharyngeal muscle cells and body wall muscle cells, much as MS normally does. By cell manipulations...
