egl-43::YFP expression in the gonad was first detected in the pre-AC/pre-VU cells at early L2, and was maintained in their 37 descendants at early L4.
egl-43::YFP was also expressed in the AC and VU cells when their cell fates become specified at mid-L2. Expression in the two dorsal uterine precursor (DU) cells (Z1.pap and Z4.apa) was first detected at late L2 and was maintained in their descendants. Thus,
egl-43 is expressed in the AC, VU and DU lineages in the somatic gonad.
