Hets are WT and segregate WT, Sterile Unc-4, and paralysed DpyUnc. Maintain by picking WT.

asEx83 [spe-19(+) + myo-3p::GFP]. Pick GFP+ to maintain. asEx83 contains 7.3kb genomic fragment including spe-19 (Y113G7A.10) and 850bp of upstream sequence. Transgene rescues spe-19(eb52) sperm activation defect. GFP+ hermaphrodites are fertile. non-GFP hermaphrodites are sterile. All males are fertile.

Self-sterile hermaphrodites; fertile males. Mated hermaphrodites produce self and outcross progeny. Self progeny are 33% males.

Unc. Temperature sensitive, maintain at 16C. Average progeny: at 16C= 7 +/- 5; at 25C= 0.1 +/- .1.

Dpy. Temperature sensitive, maintain at 16C. Average progeny at 16C= 7 +/- 5. At 25C, average progeny = 0.1 =/- .1.

Animals carrying the duplication WT. Animals which have lost the Dup are sterile. Maintain by picking fertile animals and checking for segregation of fertile and sterile progeny.

Temperature sensitive, maintain at 15C. Average progeny at 16C is 7 +/- 5. Average progeny at 25C is 0.1 +/- .1.

Temperature sensitive, maintain at 16C. Segregates males. Average progeny at 16C is 7 +/- 5. Average progeny at 25C is 0.1 +/- .1.

Maintain by mating. Hermaphrodites produce nonfunctional sperm and are fertilization defective. Self-fertility is <1% at 16C or 25C. Males are fertile.

Temperature sensitive. Maintain at 15C.

Temperature sensitive sterile. Paternal effect embryonic lethal. Permissive temp is 20C. Restrictive temp is 25C.

Male-hermaphrodite mating strain. Males are fertile, hermaphrodites are sterile.

Male/hermaphrodite mating strain. Hermaphrodites self-sterile at all temps, males fertile. Spermatids activate "normally" in TEA. In pronase they produce spikes but never form pseudopods. Similar to spe-12 and spe-8.

Dpy. spe-6(hc163) is a recessive suppressor of spe-27(it132). spe-6(hc163) also suppresses spe-8, spe-12, spe-29 and other spe-27 alleles. Causes precocious spermatid activation. Fertile between 15-25C.

Twitcher Unc. spe-6(hc163) is a recessive suppressor of spe-27(it132). spe-6(hc163) also suppresses spe-8, spe-12, spe-29 and other spe-27 alleles. Causes precocious spermatid activation. Fertile between 15-25C.

spe-6(hc163) suppresses hermaphrodite self-sterility of hc76. Dpy.

Dpy. spe-6(hc163) suppresses self-sterility of spe-8, spe-12, spe-27, and spe-29 mutants. Causes precocious spermatide activation. Fertile between 15-25C.

spe-6(hc163) suppresses the ts self-sterile phenotype of spe-27(it132). Also suppresses spe-8, spe-12, and spe-29. Causes precocious spermatid activation. Lays eggs and oocytes. Males are weakly fertile. Fertile between 15-25C.

Male/female strain which must be maintained by mating. spe-12(hc76) prevents self-fertility in hermaphrodites but does not impair spermatogenesis in males. Presence of him-8(e1489) increases male frequency.
