Rescue of pharyngeal pumping defect by nfi-1 transgene
| Daya | N2 | nfi-1 | N2 qaEx507b | nfi-1 qaEx507b |
| 1 (n = 10) | 241 ± 5 | 228 ± 9c | 243 ± 5 | 241 ± 8e |
| 2 (n = 12) | 242 ± 10 | 187 ± 64d | 237 ± 8 | 195 ± 78d |
| 3 (n = 12) | 214 ± 18 | 125 ± 79c | 183 ± 78 | 200 ± 72 |
| 4 (n = 12) | 160 ± 62 | 92.5 ± 86d | 183 ± 79 | 133 ± 90 |
a Pharyngeal pumping was counted for one minute starting on day one, when animals first reached adulthood, for four consecutive days.
b N2 and nfi-1 mutant worms were transformed with a transgene containing the nfi-1 gene and upstream promoter and rol-6 (qaEx507).
c This value is statistically significantly different from N2 (P < 0.01)
d This value is statistically significantly different from N2 (P < 0.05)
e This value is statistically significantly different from nfi-1 (P < 0.01)
