Figure 1

Defecation interval length and the percentage of defecation behaviors having the Exp step. The graphs show the relationship between the length of each defecation interval (abscissa) and that of the next interval (ordinate). The bars on the right of the graphs represent the percentage of defecation behaviors that show the Exp step (Exp/pBoc). We used plates containing 400 μg/ml of NaF in the experiments shown in the middle two graphs and plates without NaF in other experiments. The numbers above the graphs show the average defecation cycle period ± SD (number of defecation intervals measured) and Exp/pBoc (number of pBoc observed). See Materials and Methods for the meaning of the ∗. Data not shown are the following: flr-1 alleles other than ut11, 34.0 ± 15.4 sec (106)* and 31% (121) for flr-1(ut4); 26.6 ± 8.5 sec (116) and 6% (126) for flr-1(ut6); 24.7 ± 6.5 sec (107)* and 64% (120) for flr-1(sa96). Another class 2 flr mutation flr-2(ut5): 55.4 ± 7.7 sec (101) and 96% (111) for flr-2(ut5), and 37.6 ± 12.1 sec (111) and 60% (121) for flr-2(ut5); flr-1(ut11). Unlike L1 larvae, young adults survived on the plates containing 400 μg/ml of NaF for at least 3 days.
