Eggs from a strain were laid on NGM plates containing 8-bromo-cGMP at indicated concentrations and incubated at 20° C, and tph-1::gfp in hatched animals was analyzed 48 h later. The definitions of GFP levels are as follows: strong, WT levels as shown in Figure 2c; medium, the ADF cell body can be clearly recognized; very weak/invisible, ADF cell body is not discernible. N, Number of animals in each category examined. The results are based on one trial of ak47 and two independent trials of yz5.
