Remark Reporter Gene Primary Identifier Pattern Subcellular Localization
Reporter gene fusion type not specified.   Expr9189 smp- 2::gfp is strongly expressed in the male hook in close proximity to ray 1 in wild-type adult males. Expression was observed in rays 7, 8 and 9. No expression was observed in ray 1-6 lineages.  
    Expr9188 smp- 1::gfp is strongly expressed in the male hook. Expression was observed at the cell membrane of the developing male hook precursors, the adult hook, in rays 7, 8 and 9, and in the bursa of the male tail. No expression was observed in ray 1-6 lineages. [smp-1::gfp] is expressed at the cell membrane of the developing hook stage male and in adult hook cells in wild-type males.
