Abstract excerpt
Germ cells complete multiple events to form functional oocytes and sperm. In the Caenorhabditis elegans hermaphrodite, germ cells develop in proximity to the somatic gonad sheath and spermathecal cells. We present evidence from cellular laser ablation studies indicating that cells of the somatic sheath and spermathecal lineages play critical roles in four events of hermaphrodite germline development. (1) Cells of...
