| Genotype | Average no. of VPCs undergoing vulval
differentiation

a
Extent of vulval differentiation in let-23, sem-5, gap-1, and let-60 mutants in sli-1(+) and sli-1(sy143) backgrounds. The number values represent the average number of VPCs undergoing vulval differentiation per worm (3.0 is wild-type level).
