Fig. 3. hnd-1 morphogenesis defect. (A,C,E) wild type, (B,D,F)
hnd-1(q740). (A) Wild-type L1 with normal body morphology. The
gonadal primordium is bracketed. Three cells are visible: Z1, black arrow;
PGCs, white arrows; Z4 is in a different focal plane. (B) hnd-1 L1
with typical body shape defect (black arrow). Arrested larvae often have
vacuoles in the head (arrowheads). (C) Wild-type pretzel-stage embryo is
elongated and contains pharynx (ph) and gut. (D) hnd-1 pretzel-stage
embryo has not elongated posteriorly (arrow), but has a fully developed
pharynx and gut tissue, which can be disorganized. (E) Wild-type embryos
stained with
-myosin antibodies. Two muscle quadrants are visible in
this plane (arrowheads). (F) hnd-1 embryos generate four muscle
quadrants, which can be disorganized posteriorly (arrow); three quadrants are
visible in this plane (arrowheads). Scale bar: 10 µm.
