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

Heterozygotes are Unc and segregate Uncs (heterozygotes), non-Unc spo-11 homozygotes, and dead eggs (nT1 homozygotes). spo-11 homozygotes produce an average of ~200 fertilized eggs but only about 0.1 progeny survive to adulthood. When mated to N2 males, spo-11 homozygotes will produce at least 5-10 cross progeny.

Him. Heterozygotes are WT and segregate WT, Vul and dead eggs. Maintain by picking WT. Reference: Agostinho A, et al. PLos Genetics 2013.

Balanced heterozygotes are GFP+ Unc and segregate GFP+ Unc (heterozygotes), non-GFP non-Unc spo-11(me44) homozygotes, and dead eggs (nT1 homozygotes). spo-11(me44) homozygotes are viable and produce more than 90% dead eggs (a large fraction of the survivors are males — strong Him phenotype); cytologically they lack chiasmata in diakinesis-stage oocytes and lack RAD-51 foci. Maintain by picking Unc.

Heterozygotes are WT with pharyngeal GFP, and segregate GFP+ heterozygotes, non-GFP homozygotes, and inviable nT1[qIs51] aneuploid embryos. Homozygous progeny of heterozygous mothers are viable, but produce mostly dead embryos. Reference: Severson AF, et al. Genes Dev. 2009 Aug 1;23(15):1763-78.

Maintain by picking Unc GFP progeny that produce viable embryos and checking that the non-GFP progeny that are produced fail to give viable progeny. tm1310 is a homozygous sterile allele balanced by bli-4- and GFP-marked translocation. Heterozygotes are Unc with pharyngeal GFP signal, and segregate Unc GFP, arrested hT2 aneuploids, and non-GFP sterile homozygotes (tm1310 is maternally rescued; progeny of non-GFP animals fail to give viable progeny). Homozygous hT2 [bli-4 let-? qIs48] inviable. ok79 heterozygotes are Unc and segregate Uncs, dead eggs, and Him ok79 homozygotes (maternally rescued).

Heterozygotes are wild-type with pharyngeal-expressed GFP, and segregate wild-type GFP+(pharynx) heterozygotes, arrested nT1[qIs51] homozygotes, and viable non-GFP(pharynx) rad-51(iow53[GFP::rad-51]) homozygotes. Balancer is prone to breaking down. If a population contains a mix of bright and dim GFP animals, pick dim GFP and check for correct segregation of progeny to maintain. iow53 inserted a GFP tag at the N-terminus of the endogenous rad-51 locus, but the tagged protein is not fully functional. non-GFP(pharynx) rad-51(iow53[GFP::rad-51]) homozygotes form GFP foci in the germline that are mostly spo-11 dependent, and GFP::rad-51 homozygotes have defects in unloading RAD-51. Created by CRISPR using pDD282, therefore may also contain 3XFLAG. Reference: Koury E, et al. Nucleic Acids Res. 2018 Jan 25;46(2):748-764.
