| Pattern | Fluorescence was observed in epithelial cells that synthesize cuticle. The gfp fusion gene for the exoribonuclease xrn-2 was expressed in specialized myoepithelial cells that secrete the pharyngeal cuticle. Expression of xrn-2p::gfp in the pharyngeal myoepithelium intensified prior to molting. xrn-2p::gfp was expressed in several anterior neurons, including sensory neurons, as well as the PVT neuron that projects along the ventral cord, and the M5 pharyngeal neuron. Also, xrn-2p::gfp was expressed in M5 only in larvae. The xrn-2 reporter was also expressed in the intestine. However, expression of xrn-2p::gfp in the intestine persisted in adults that no longer molt. Expression of the gfp fusion genes was never detected in the hypodermis of gravid adults that no longer molt. | |||
