Legacy_informationhc4ts : hermaphrodites and males grown at 25x produce nonfunctional nonmotile sperm with aberrant pseudopods perinuclear tubules. Skewed transmission ratio from hc4/+ males implying haplo-expression. Self- fertility 3% (25x) 50% (16x). ES2 (adult). NA1. hc4/Df hermaphrodites have abnormal gonads with no oocyte production no rescue by wild-type sperm.

Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionfer-4 was identified in screens for temperature-sensitive fertilization defective mutants; fer-4 mutations result in nearly complete sterility at the non-permissive temperature (25 degrees C) and slightly reduced fertility at the permissive temperature (16 degrees C); FER-4 activity is required throughout the entire period of sperm development for the production of morphologically normal, motile sperm; genetic analysis suggests that fer-4 may be expressed meiotically.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00000495
