Abstract excerpt
Roller mutants of Caenorhabditis elegans rotate around their long axis and move in circular paths. Isolation and sequence of the rol-6 gene of C. elegans have shown that it encodes a cuticle collagen. In this paper, we describe the morphological alterations seen in the cuticle of the right roller mutant rol-6 (su1006) at the ultrastructural level. Deep-etched replica analyses showed that the honeycomb elements,...
