WBbiopr:00000033Public_nameTail development
SummaryDevelopment of the tail in C. elegans follows distinct sex-specific programs. Upon hatching there is very little morphological distinction between the hermaphrodite and the male C. elegans L1. By the adult stage, the hermaphrodite tail is a tapered whip of hypodermis. By contrast the adult male tale is a complex mating structure that stemmed from sex-specific cell lineages as well as reprogrammed cell fates.
