The Wnt <ligand> participating in the P2-to-EMS interaction during early <Caenorhabditis elegans> development.
A signal from the neighbouring P2 <cell> helps distinguish the developmental programmes of the EMS daughters. Combining wild-type and <mutant> <blastomeres> tests whether a defect lies in signal production or in the responding <cell>’s competence. <Molecular Biology of the Cell, 4th edition by Bruce Alberts and others>[Chapter 21, Caenorhabditis elegans development and cell-cell interactions]{ref}
