| Pattern | Staining was evident in most somatic cells of the worm and was particularly prominent in the large gut cells. Staining was also observed in the nerve ring and in neurons. | |||

| Transcriptional reporter gene constructs containing either 2.3 kb or 4.1 kb of daf-21 upstream sequence were generated. Analysis of b-galactosidase staining in these worms demonstrated that both promoters drive similar patterns of gene expression in all life cycle stages. However, in transgenic worms carrying the longer promoter, GFP fluorescence was also observed which was not apparent using the shorter promoter. For this reason, the longer promoter was used in all subsequent constructs. | ||||
