By using fluorescent antibody staining, the cytoplasmic granules unique to germ-line cells were followed throughout the life cycle of C. elegans. These elements, designated P granules, are segregated exclusively to germ-line precursor cells during early embryogenesis. Prior to mitosis at each of the early cleavages that produce a somatic and germ-line daughter cell, the granules become localized in the region of cytoplasm destined for the germ-line daughter. After the 16-cell stage, the granules appear to be associated with the nuclear envelope. P granules persit in the germ cells throughout the larval and adult stages. The P granules are similar in number, size and distribution to germ-line-specific structures identified as germinal plasm by EM in C. elegans embryos.
