daf-7 expression was markedly reduced in larvae with (lf) alleles of egl-30. In addition, daf-7 expression was reduced in larvae with egl-30 gf alleles.
gld-3;mog-2 double mutants arrested as L1 larvae and could not be used to analyze germline phenotypes. The arrested L1 larvae expressed PGL-1 only in the germline primordium. Arrested gld-3;mog-2 larvae make no ectopic germ cells
The arrested larvae accumulated high levels of glh-2 mRNAs in the somatic tissues, while in contrast, these mRNAs were detectable only in germ cells in wild-type larvae.
