Table 1 Allelic series of lin-12 mutants. Vulval phenotype abbreviations are as follows: Pvl, protruding vulva; WT, wild type; Vul, vulvaless; and Muv, multiple pseudovulvae. All animals were tested at 25°C except animals carrying the cold-sensitive lin-12(n137n460) allele were raised at the non-permissive temperature 15°C. Control animals raised at 15 or 25°C had wild type reversal rates (see Figs. 1 and 2).
