Fig. 2. Germ cell proliferation and degeneration in mrg-1 mutants.
(A) Number of germ cells in mrg-1(M-Z-) mutants. Each data
point represents the average of 3-18 worms; see Table S1 in the supplementary
material for values. Error bars show standard deviations. (B) Nomarski
photomicrographs of live L3 larvae. (C) Germ nuclei containing
GFP-tagged histone H2B. Enlarged nuclei were observed in the gonads of
mrg-1 mutant and RNAi larvae (compare brackets). Scale bars: 10
µm.
