Dauer formation assays in P. pacificus wild type and mutant animals. (A) Dauer formation of P. pacificus PS312 (Ppa) and C. elegans N2 (Cel) on agar plates containing either P. pacificus or C. elegans pheromone. (B) Cholesterol restriction enhances dauer formation in P. pacificus PS312. Dauer formation was tested on pheromone plates (as in B) in the presence (5μg/ml) or absence of added cholesterol. (C) Daf-d phenotypes of the three Ppa-daf-12 alleles, tu381, tu389, and tu390. Dauer formation of wild type (PS312) and mutant animals was tested on agar plates containing the same amount of pheromone extract. Error bars denote 95% confidence intervals. Note that the experiments described in Figures 2 A, B and C, were performed with different batches and different amounts of pheromone. See Table S1 for number of animals tested.
