        Remark: Four longitudinal bands of b-galactosidase staining are observed running from just behind the pharynx to the posterior of the worms.
  Type: Reporter_gene
  Pattern: The expression pattern appears to have two components, both in muscle cells, and for both the b-galactosidase appears in discrete sub-cellular foci.The first component begins in late embryogenesis and continues through early larval stages. Four longitudinal bands of b-galactosidase staining are observed running from just behind the pharynx to the posterior of the worms. This may correspond to to the body wall muscle cells, apart from those body wall muscle cells in the head.The second component begins in late larval stages as the gonad develops. b-galactosidase staining is first diffuse, in four patches a-p along the gonad. It then becomes more discrete as the subcellular foci form although apparently still in four bands, which we think correspond to the uterine muscle cells. As the adult hermaphrodites age, these foci seem to become progressively more specifically associated with lateral positions and we hypothesise that these foci are related to the attachments of the uterine muscle cells to the hypodermal seam cells. Expression in males has not yet been examined.
