Apoptosis and change of competence limit the size of the vulva equivalence group in Pristionchus pacificus: a genetic analysis.

Current biology : CB - 1 Jan 1996

Sommer R J, Sternberg P W

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: To understand how alterations in the molecular mechanisms underlying developmental processes generate a diversity of biological forms, comparative developmental biology can be combined with genetic analysis. The formation of the nematode vulva is one tractable system for such evolutionary developmental analysis, as much is understood about its development in Caenorhabditis elegans. In Caenorhabditis,...
