Fig. 3. deps-1 mutants display temperature-sensitive sterility and
embryonic lethality. (A) Fertility profiles of
deps-1(bn121) M-Z- at 15, 20 and 24.5°C. Mutant hermaphrodites
were picked to individual plates as L4s, and the fertility of each animal
scored several days later. Animals that generated (a) >20 or (b) 1-20
larval progeny are defined as fertile. Animals that did not have larval
progeny but (c) laid dead eggs, (d) produced oocytes or oocyte-like material,
or (e) failed to make either embryos or oocytes are defined as sterile.
Numbers of adults examined were 45 (15°C), 132 (20°C) and 105
(24.5°C). (B) Number and quality of eggs laid by
deps-1(bn121) M+Z- and M-Z- adults at 15 and 20°C and
deps-1(bn121) M+Z- adults at 24.5°C. n.d., not determined.
