Fig. 3. EGL-5 expression is sufficient to specify male cell fates in XX gonads.

Fig. 3

K09C8.2::GFP is expressed in seminal vesicle of wild type males and C49C3.12::GFP in the vas deferens. (A, C) Hermaphrodites lacking the hs::egl-5 array express neither of the male-specific reporters (GFP in C is gut autofluorescence). (B, D) Hermaphrodites with the hs::egl-5 array express both male-specific reporters after heat shock. (E) Animals were heat shocked during the indicated larval stage and examined as young adults for ectopic expression of reporter genes in the hermaphrodite gonad. Lines 1 and 2 are two independently isolated extrachromosomal arrays of hs::egl-5. Error bars indicate the SEM.
