Abstract:

Maternal factors,laid down in the oocyte regulate blastomere identities in the early Caenorhabditis elegans embryo by activating zygotic patterning genes and restricting their expression to the appropriate lineages. A number of early-acting zygotic genes:that specify various cell fates have been identified recently and their temporal and spatial regulation by maternal factors has begun to be
