To study the evolutionary conservation and divergence of genetic pathways mediating vulva formation, we screened for mutations in C. briggsae that cause the egg-laying defective (Egl) phenotype. Here, we report the characterization of 13 genes, including three that are orthologs of Caenorhabditis elegans unc-84 (SUN domain), lin-39 (Dfd\/Scr-related homeobox), and lin-11 (LIM homeobox). Based on the morphology and cell fate changes, the mutants were placed into four different categories. Class 1 animals have normal-looking vulva and vulva-uterine connections, indicating defects in other components of the egg-laying system. Class 2 animals frequently lack some or all of the vulval precursor cells (VPCs) due to defects in the migration of P-cell nuclei into the ventral hypodermal region. Class 3 animals show inappropriate fusion of VPCs to the hypodermal syncytium, leading to a reduced number of vulval progeny. Finally, class 4 animals exhibit abnormal vulval invagination and morphology. Interestingly, we did not find mutations that affect VPC induction and fates. Our work is the first study involving the characterization of genes in C. briggsae vulva formation, and it offers a basis for future investigations of these genes in C. elegans.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1534\/g3.112.004598","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,12,10]],"date-time":"2012-12-10T17:23:53Z","timestamp":1355160233000},"page":"1625-1641","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Genetic Control of Vulval Development in\n                    <i>Caenorhabditis briggsae<\/i>"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"2","author":[{"given":"Devika","family":"Sharanya","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario L8S 4K1, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bavithra","family":"Thillainathan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario L8S 4K1, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sujatha","family":"Marri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario L8S 4K1, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nagagireesh","family":"Bojanala","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario L8S 4K1, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jon","family":"Taylor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Michael Smith Laboratories, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, British Columbia V6T 1Z4, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stephane","family":"Flibotte","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Michael Smith Laboratories, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, British Columbia V6T 1Z4, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Donald G","family":"Moerman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Michael Smith Laboratories, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, British Columbia V6T 1Z4, Canada"},{"name":"Department of Zoology, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, British Columbia V6T 1Z4, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Robert H","family":"Waterston","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Genome Sciences, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington 98195-5065"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bhagwati P","family":"Gupta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario L8S 4K1, Canada"},{"name":"Department of Biology, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario L8S 4K1, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,12,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021041711150653600_bib1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"518","DOI":"10.1038\/nrg2105","article-title":"The versatile worm: genetic and genomic resources for Caenorhabditis elegans research","volume":"8","author":"Antoshechkin","year":"2007","journal-title":"Nat.
