Fig. 6.6.

Translational regulation during meiotic progression, oocyte growth, and maturation in C. elegans. A cartoon of the adult hermaphrodite gonad is shown at the top. Orientation: distal to the left and proximal to the right. C. elegans gonad with different regions marked. Horizontal bars indicate expression patterns of the RBPs that regulate meiotic progression and/or oocyte maturation. Intensity variations of the color reflect the concentrations of the corresponding proteins. The RBPs and their corresponding target mRNAs in the different stages of meiotic development are shown at the bottom. See text for a more detailed description
