Strain Genotype Species Description
CB4330 unc-4(e2309) II. C. elegans Reference:
LX837 vsIs45. C. elegans vsIs45 [tph-1::GFP]. tph-1::GFP in vsIs45 is expressed exclusively in the NSM neurons in larvae and NSM + HSN in adults, whereas other tph-1::GFP reporters are also expressed in other serotonergic neurons; can be used to image NSM development and for FACS isolation of NSM from L1s. Reference: Nelson JC, Colon-Ramos DA. J Neurosci. 2013 Jan 23;33(4):1366-76.
NC1013 unc-119(ed3) III; wdEx455. C. elegans wdEx455 [acr-14::GFP + unc-119(+)]. Pick non-Unc to maintain.
NC1015 unc-119(ed3) III; wdEx457. C. elegans wdEx457 [F39B2.8::GFP + unc-119(+)]. Pick non-Unc to maintain. GFP expression in pharyngeal muscles, posterior ventral cord motor neurons, tail neurons, and a few head neurons. Construct made by M. Vidal lab; candidate unc-37 target gene. F39B2.8 also known as gpr-158.
NC106 unc-37(e262 wd26) I. C. elegans Incompletely-penetrant exploding vulva. wd26 (E580K) is an intragenic revertant of the e262 allele for the backward movement phenotype; it is not known if it also modifies other e262 phenotypes. The wd26 lesion (E580K) is molecularly identical to wd14, wd16, wd17, wd18, etc. Reference: Pflugrad A, et al. Development. 1997 May;124(9):1699-709.
NC138 dpy-20(e1282) IV; wdIs3 X. C. elegans wdIs3[del-1::GFP + dpy-20(+)]. del-1 is expressed in the VB motor neurons beginning the the L2 larval stage. By the end of L2, del-1::GFP is also visible in a few VA motor neurons at the anterior end of the nerve cord. Expression of del-1::GFP in the VAs progresses in a wave from anterior to posterior, with all VAs expressing del-1::GFP by the adult stage. Thus, del-1::GFP is not expressed in the VAs during the L2 period in which unc-4 functions in those cells to establish synaptic inputs but is expressed in the VAs after they have been wired into the ventral cord circuit. del-1::GFP is also expressed in five neurons (VB1, VB2, SABVR, SABVL, VA1) in the retrovesicular ganglion at the anterior end of the ventral nerve cord. During the mid-L2 larval stage, del-1::GFP expression in the ventral nerve cord is largely restricted to the VB class of motor neurons.
