Shown is the percentage of dauer larvae produced at 20°C under non-dauer-forming conditions, i.e., plenty of food and sparse population. All of the flr-1 unc-3 strains produced fewer dauer larvae (5–19%) at 25°C than 20°C. Wild-type animals, all the single-mutants except unc-3(cn4146), and the double mutants flr-2; flr-1 and flr-5; flr-1 produced less than 1% dauer larvae (n > 100), while unc-3(cn4146) produced 8% dauer larvae (n = 218).
