WBPicture0000007464DescriptionSMC-6 accumulate in germ cells and on meiotic chromosomes. (A) A drawing representation of an adult hermaphrodite gonad arm. The progression of germ cell proliferation and meiosis are indicated by the arrows starting from the distal tip region of the gonad arm. (B) SMC-6 staining was detected in the nucleus of germ cells in the distal gonad arm. Mitotic germ nuclei are located in the pre-meiotic region proximal to the distal tip. Pre-meiotic S phase nuclei should be located proximal to the transition zone nuclei. The green bracket marks the transition zone region. (C) SMC-6 staining in pachytene nuclei appeared to accumulate on chromosomes, which differed from the more diffuse nucleoplasmic staining in the distal gonad arm in (B). In the diplotene (D) and diakinesis (E) stages of meiotic prophase I, SMC-6 staining was detected exclusively on chromosomes. Scale bars 5 um.
