Spermiogenesis in <i>Caenorhabditis elegans</i>: An Excellent Model to Explore the Molecular Basis for Sperm Activation

<i>C. elegans</i> spermiogenesis converts non-motile spermatids into motile, fertilization-competent spermatozoa. Two major events include the building of a pseudopod required for motility and fusion of membranous organelles (MOs)—intracellular secretory vesicles—with the spermatid plasm...
