Abstract excerpt
In screens for mutants defective in vulval morphogenesis, multiple mutants were isolated in which the uterus and the vulva fail to make a proper connection. We describe five alleles that define the gene cog-2, for connection of gonad defective. To form a functional connection between the vulva and the uterus, the anchor cell must fuse with the multinucleate uterine seam cell, derived from uterine cells that adopt...
