"To characterize the potential role of AMX-2 in egg laying, we analyzed responses in an
amx-2 mutant strain,
amx-2(
ok1235). This strain showed a weak constitutive egg laying phenotype and when crossed with the
grk-2(
rt97) strain
amx-2(
ok1235) effectively suppressed the
grk-2(
rt97) egg laying defect (Fig. 5B)."
