Single copy transgene inserted into chromosome IV (cxTi10882) expressing modified Arabidopsis thaliana TIR1 tagged with mRuby in germ line and early embryos.

ieSi21 [sun-1p::sun-1::mRuby::sun-1 3'UTR + Cbr-unc-119(+)] IV. ieSi21 was inserted into cxTi10882 IV using MosSCI. Expression of the transgenic SUN-1::mRuby fusion protein complements the sun-1 deletion allele. SUN-1::mRuby is expressed throughout the germline and in the early embryo, where it localizes to nuclear envelope and associates with chromosome pairing centers during early meiotic prophase.

mIs11 [myo-2p::GFP + pes-10p::GFP + F22B7.9::GFP]. Pick WT with dim GFP+ in pharynx to maintain. mIs11 homozygotes will quickly overtake the population if not selected against. GFP expression in 4-cell embryos, pharyngeal muscle and gut. Heterozygotes are WT with dim GFP signal in the pharynx. mIs11 homozygotes are WT with bright GFP in the pharynx. rad-51(lg8701) homozygotes are non-GFP and throw dead eggs.

Heterozygotes are Unc and segregate Uncs, dead eggs, and Pvul slow growing tm2610 homozygotes. Pick Unc to maintain and check for correct segregation of progeny. Reference: Bhalla N, et al. PLoS Genet. 2008 4(10) e1000235.

ieSi1 [htp-3p::GFP::him-8 + unc-119(+)] II. ltIs37 [pie-1p::mCherry::his-58 + unc-119(+)] IV. ieSi1 is prone to silencing; GFP might not be visible at lower magnifications. [NOTE: the ltIs37 [pie-1p::mCherry::his-58 + unc-119(+)] IV transgene was previously annotated as itIs37 in this strain. The correct name of the transgene is ltIs37 and not itIs37.] Reference: Wynne DJ, et al. J Cell Biol. 2012 Jan 9;196(1):47-64.

mIs11 [myo-2p::GFP + pes-10p::GFP + F22B7.9::GFP]. Heterozygotes are wild-type with dim GFP signal in the pharynx. mIs11 homozygotes are wild-type with bright GFP in the pharynx. ieDf2 homozygotes (non-GFP) develop normally but produce 97.5% inviable embryos and a high frequency of males among the surviving self-progeny. Pick WT with dim GFP+ in pharynx to maintain. mIs11 homozygotes will quickly overtake the population if not selected against. GFP expression in 4-cell embryos, pharyngeal muscle and gut. ieDf2 is a deficiency of zim-1, zim-2, zim-3, and him-8 generated by MosDel, resulting in single-copy insertion of a copy of the C. briggsae unc-119 gene on Chromosome IV. The deletion spans the sequences from the beginning of the zim-1 coding sequence through the ttTi22866 Mos1 insertion site.
