Abstract excerpt
During vulval development in the Caenorhabditis elegans hermaphrodite, the fates of six vulval precursor cells (VPCs) are influenced by distinct cell signaling events. In one event, a somatic gonadal cell, the anchor cell, induces the three nearest VPCs to adopt vulval cell fates. In another event, lateral signaling between adjacent VPCs specifies one of two different vulval fates, 1 degrees and 2 degrees....
