Cuticle chirality and body handedness in Caenorhabditis elegans.

Developmental genetics - 1 Jan 1998

Bergmann D C, Crew J R, Kramer J M, Wood W B

Abstract excerpt

Caenorhabditis elegans adult animals exhibit an inherent chirality of fiber orientation in the basal layer of the cuticle, as well as a naturally invariant but experimentally reversible handedness in the left-right (L-R) asymmetry of the body plan. We have examined the relationship between cuticle chirality and body handedness in normal and L-R reversed animals, using Roller (Rol) mutants and transmission...
