HOM-C/Hox genes and four interacting loci determine the morphogenetic properties of single cells in the nematode male tail.

Development (Cambridge, England) - 1 Sept 1994

Chow K L, Emmons S W

Abstract excerpt

The copulatory structure of the C. elegans male tail includes a set of nine bilaterally symmetrical pairs of sense organs known as rays. Each ray comprises three cells, which are generated by a stereotyped cell sublineage expressed by 18 epidermal ray precursor cells. A pattern formation mechanism in the epidermis guides the specification of morphogenetic differences between the rays necessary for correct...
