Fig. 4. A ces-1(lf) mutation is unable to suppress the NSM sister cell
survival caused by hlh-2(RNAi) or
hlh-3(RNAi). (A) A ces-1(lf) mutation is not able
to suppress the NSM sister cell survival induced by
hlh-2(RNAi). NSM sister cell survival was analysed as
described in the Materials and Methods (n=96-142). dsRNA was
delivered by feeding. hlh-6 dsRNA was used for control RNAi. The
complete genotype of the animals analysed was as follows
hlh-2(RNAi); bcIs25, ces-1(n703 n1434lf);
hlh-6(RNAi); bcIs25, ces-1(n703 n1434lf);
hlh-2(RNAi); bcIs25. (B) A ces-1(lf)
mutation is not able to suppress the NSM sister cell survival induced by
hlh-3(RNAi). NSM sister cell survival was analysed as
described in the Materials and Methods (n=174-218). dsRNA was
delivered by injection. hlh-6 dsRNA was used for control RNAi. The
complete genotype of the animals analysed was as follows:
hlh-3(RNAi); bcIs25, ces-1(n703 n1434lf);
hlh-6(RNAi); bcIs25, ces-1(n703 n1434lf);
hlh-3(RNAi); bcIs25. Error bars represent the
standard deviation of the average percent survival obtained for the progeny of
different injected animals.
