Fig. 4. med-6 is involved in ray development. The locations where the
V6-derived rays are supposed to be found are indicated by the lines in all
figures. (A) A typical wild-type ray structure. (B) The ray phenotype caused
by med-6 RNAi in the rde-1 background. Development of the
V6-derived rays is affected by RNAi. (C) Defective V6-derived rays in a
pal-1 (e2091) mutant animal. (D) The ray phenotype caused by
med-6 RNAi in a pal-1(e2091) mutant animal. (E) The restored
V6-derived rays in the pal-1; sop-1 double mutant animal. (F) The ray
phenotype caused by med-6 RNAi in the pal-1; sop-1 double
mutant background. The V6-derived rays are defective. Scale bar: 25 µm.
