COVER PHOTOGRAPH: Pseudocolored array of C. elegans L1 larvae overexpressing the midbody Hox reporter, lin‐39::lacZ. From Patterning of sexually dimorphic neurogenesis in the Caenorhabditis elegans ventral cord by Hox and TALE homeodomain transcription factors; Kalis, et al, Developmental Dynamics 243:159–171.
Background: Reproduction in animals requires development of distinct neurons in each sex. In C. elegans, most ventral cord neurons (VCNs) are present in both sexes, with the exception of six hermaphrodite‐specific neurons (VCs) and nine pairs of male‐specific neurons (CAs and CPs) that arise from analogous precursor cells. How are the activities of sexual regulators and mediators of neuronal survival,...
