Subtle ovulation defect which is viewable by Nomarski - 2 oocytes ovulate (pass into uterus) at the same time. Double mutants with lfe-2(sy326) and lfe-1(sy290) show sterility. Double mutant with lin-3(n1058) is fertile. Do not distribute this strain; other labs should request it from the CGC. This strain cannot be distributed to commercial organizations. This strain cannot be used for any commercial purpose or for work on human subjects.

syEx429 [ipp-5p::GFP + rol-6(su1006)]. Maintain by picking Rollers. Construct pIP5 contains 2.0 kb promoter fragment upstream of ipp-1 driving GFP expression in distal spermatheca (in adults); pharynx and vulva (all stages). [NOTE: the syEx429 array in this strain was previously incorrectly annotated as carrying ipp-1p::GFP. The array contains an ipp-5p::GFP transgene.] This strain cannot be distributed to commercial organizations. This strain cannot be used for any commercial purpose or for work on human subjects.
