a

All strains were grown at 20°C. cbp-1 (bm2 lf) is linked to dpy-18 in all of the relevant strains. tnDf2 was linked to unc-32(e189). The number of animals scored (n) is indicated in parentheses. ND, not determined.

b

gf indicates gain of function. lf indicates loss of function.

c

Percentage of animals displaying one or more ectopic pseudovulvae (ventral protrusions).

d

Average number of VPCs adopting a vulval cell fate relative to the number in the wild-type animal, as scored with Nomarski optics. In the wild-type animal, 3 of 6 VPCs are induced.

e

Percentage of animals in which <3 of the VPCs normally induced in wild-type animals (P5.p to P7.p) is not induced, as scored with Nomarski optics.

f

Egl animals were scored as the percentage of animals that were unable to lay eggs and had a Bag phenotype (larvae that hatched within the worm). Does not include sterile animals.

g

Percentage of animals that reached the adult stage but were unable to produce progeny.

h

Percentage of eggs that failed to hatch.

i

Percentage of animals that died during any of the larval stages.
