Cell corpses are internalized in vps-18(tm1125) mutants. (A) AO staining of germ cell corpses in indicated animals. Arrows and fragmented lines indicate cell corpses in N2, ced-1(e1735) and vps-18(tm1125) worms, respectively. Bars, 20 μm. (B) Quantification of AO-positive germ cell corpses in wild type and indicated single, double, and triple mutants. Error bars represent SEM. (C) Time-lapse recording of chromatin degradation of the cell corpses of both wild-type and vps-18(tm1125) animals. Bars, 5 μm.
