TABLE 3.

Cell autonomy of EMB-4 function in the AC/VU decision

Genotype na Fate of Z1.ppp
lin-12(n302) 4/4 + 11/11b VU
lin-12(n302); emb-4(sel) 5/5 AC

The nucleus of Z4 was ablated with a laser microbeam in newly hatched L1 larvae of lin-12(n302) and lin-12(n302); emb-4(sa44) genotypes. Success of ablations was confirmed and the presence of an AC was scored during the late L3 stage.

a

Number of animals that exhibited the cell fate indicated divided by the total number of animals examined.

b

Four lin-12(n302) animals were scored in this work; previously, 11 animals were handled identically by Wen et al. (1997).
