TABLE 3.
Cell size measurements in unc-51 mutant animals
| Genotype | Seam cell length (μm) | Seam cell area (μm2) | N |
|---|---|---|---|
| ajm-1∷gfp | 33.2 ± 5.1 | 1.25 ± 0.12 | 55 |
| unc-51(e369); ajm-1∷gfp | 27.4 ± 4.0 | 0.95 ± 0.2 | 39 |
The ajm-1∷gfp marker localizes to the adherens junctions surrounding the seam cells (Mohler et al. 1998). Seam cell measurements were carried out at the L3 stage. P < 0.001 (unpaired t-test). Data are given as mean ± standard deviation.
