Fig. 2. Partial suppression of daf-2 dauer arrest by daf-9
expression in the hypodermis. (A) A daf-2(e1370) partial dauer animal
carrying a dpy-7p::daf-9::GFP transgene. Although the vulva
displayed L4 morphology (inset), gonadal migration was arrested and abundant
refractile bodies, indicative of lipid accumulation, were apparent in the
intestinal cells. The arrow indicates the position of the distal tip cell
(DTC). (B) A daf-2(e1370) dauer animal showing arrested vulval
development, gonadal migration and refractile bodies in the intestinal cells.
All animals were raised at 25°C.
