^aGenotype of the worm strain being treated with RNAi.

^bAnimals arrested at various larval stages.

^cProtruding vulva coupled with sterility phenotype.

^dHigh incidence of male (Him) phenotype; males resulted from self-fertilization of hermaphrodites.

^eHermaphrodites with normal morphology. WT, wild type.

^fEmbryos were put on RNAi feeding plates for examination of postembryonic phenotypes.

^gNA, not applicable.
