Germ cells in sexually reproducing metazoa, through the germline
lineage, are the route by which genetic material and cytoplasmic
constituents are passed from one generation to the next in the
continuum of life. Chapters in this book review germ cell
development in the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans,
discussing the biology, the genetics and the molecular mechanisms
for various processes, as well as drawing comparisons with other
organisms. Processes discussed include specification of germ cell
fate, meiosis, gametogenesis, environmental/ physiological
controls, epigenetics and translational control, fertilization and
the oocyte-to-embryo transition. This book thus provides a
comprehensive picture of the germline lineage and the continuum of
life for the worm.
