Fig. 1. Extensive feminization in the egl-5 male gonad.

Fig. 1

Left column: wild type XX hermaphrodites. Middle column: wild type XO males. Right column: egl-5(u202 or n486) mutant XO males. All panels are overlaid DIC and fluorescence images except P–R, which are DIC alone. For each reporter, fluorescence images are identical exposures for all genotypes. All animals are young adults except M–O, which are L3 animals. (A–C) K09C8.2::GFP is expressed in the seminal vesicle and vas deferens of wild type males and in egl-5 mutants. (D–R) All reporters are expressed in a specific gonadal tissue in wild type hermaphrodites and ectopically expressed in egl-5 mutant males. (D–F) fkh-6::GFP is expressed in the spermatheca and sheath. (G–I) ZK813.3::GFP is expressed in the spermatheca. (J–L) lim-7::GFP is expressed in the sheath. (M–O) cdh-3::GFP is expressed in the anchor cell and rarely in egl-5 mutants. (P–R) pes-8::lacZ, X-gal staining is in the uterine valve.
