Observed brood size and embryonic lethality of cgef-1 and chin-1 mutant strains
| n | Brood size | Embryoniclethality (%) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| N2 (+/+) | 5 | 210.8 ± 13.1 | 0.4 ± 0.4 |
| cgef-1(gk261) (−/−) | 5 | 225.6 ± 9.0 | 1.2 ± 0.8 |
| N2 (+/+) | 4 | 337.5 ± 15.4 | 0.7 ± 0.6 |
| chin-1(tm1909)/+ | 5 | 339.8 ± 43.8 | 1.0 ± 0.6 |
| chin-1(tm1909) | 20 | 7.7 ± 9.5* | 98.7 ± 4.1* |
| chin-1(tm1909) (16°C) | 24 | 0.04 ± 0.2 | 100 ± 0 |
| chin-1(tm1909) (24°C) | 22 | 50.7 ± 48.5 | 75.7 ± 20.5 |
| chin-1(tm1909);cgef-1(gk261) (24°C) | 11 | 12.4 ± 13.2† | 79.4 ± 25.0 |
chin-1 and cgef-1 mutant strains were analyzed with experimentally paired observations of the same wild-type strain. Experiments were conducted at 20°C unless otherwise noted. Statistical comparisons noted are for experiments at the same temperature.
* p < 0.05, statistically significant difference from the wild type.
†p < 0.05, statistically significant difference from chin-1(tm1909) at 24°C.
