Strict maternal effect sterile at 25C. TSP during embryogenesis. The progeny of homozygous mothers, raised at the restrictive temperature, are sterile. Sterile worms have dramatic reduction in number of germ cells (10-100 fold less than WT).

Animals with the Duplication have a WT phenotype. Animals which have lost the Duplication are Dpy and give sterile Dpy progeny. Strict maternal effect sterile. Sterile worms have a dramatic reduction in number of germs cells (10-100 fold less than WT). See also WBPaper00002343.

axIs1713 [pie-1p::GFP::histone H2B::mes-3 3'utr + unc-119(+)]. Transgene is prone to silencing -- maintain at 25C. Transgene is very unstable. Pick non-Unc, GFP+ worms to maintain.
