Figure 4. Effect of Temperature and TG on Body Size in C. elegans .

Figure 4

We measured body size in the mutants tra-3(e1107) (size of pseudomales is comparable to normal males but smaller than hermaphrodites) exposed to temperature and TG (including DMSO control). Also shown are the body sizes of the suppressed tra-3 mutant tra-3(e1107)sup-24(st354)IV, and tra-3(e2333) exposed to temperature, and wild-type N2 (+/+) exposed to TG and DMSO control. * = significant at 0.01 < p < 0.05 and *** = significant at p < 0.001. Bars are standard deviation. +/+:F (1,28) = 5.25, CB:F (1,47) = 0.67, tra-3(e1107):F (1,38) = 1.43, tra-3(e1107) 24 °C DMSO versus TG:F (1,14) = 1.77, tra-3(e1107)sup-24(st354) F (1,22) = 14.44, tra-3(e2333):F (1,27) = 1.52, and +/+ 24 °C DMSO versus TG:F (1,8) = 6.65.
