AB  - The distal-most portion of the hermaphrodite germline in C. elegans is referred to as the Progenitor Zone (Figure 1A). Most cells in this population are mitotically-cycling germline precursors, but some have progressed as far as the early stages of prophase of meiosis I (Fox et al., 2011). The size of the Progenitor Zone is sensitive to a variety of environmental factors (Hubbard and Schedl, 2019). For example, in the presence of physiological concentrations of ascr#10, the most abundant male-enriched excreted ascaroside (Izrayelit et al., 2012), hermaphrodites have an enlarged population of germline precursor cells (Figure 1B; (Aprison and Ruvinsky, 2016)).
