The MAPK phosphatase VHP-1 buffers pharynx-to-body proportions against tissue-specific growth imbalance in C. elegans
Maintaining appropriate organ size ratios in the face of growth fluctuations is critical for the development of a reproducible body plan. Yet the mechanisms involved remain poorly understood. Here, we investigated how pharynx-to-body proportions are maintained in Caenorhabditis elegans, combining tissue-specific perturbations, genetic screening, and longitudinal live imaging. A genome-wide RNAi…
