Abstract

This review addresses the role of cell-cell interactions in the development of the Caenorhabditis elegans germ line: specifically, the relative contributions of germ-line-soma interactions versus autonomous processes are considered. Current knowledge of the interacting cell types and the genes essential for various aspects of germ-line development is discussed.
