In wild-type male germlines, GLD-1 was low in the distalmost mitotic region, but increased visibly in the proximal mitotic region and transition zone. However, in
fbf-1 fbf-2 germlines (both XX and XO), GLD-1 was less abundant than in wild type. Upon quantitation, GLD-1 quantity was not affected dramatically in the distal mitotic region, but that it was approximately fourfold lower in the transition zone of both XX and XO
fbf-1 fbf-2 germlines than in wild-type males.
