Figure 4. Effect of cadmium on C. elegans reproduction.

Figure 4

Total number of offspring plotted against cadmium concentration (μM) of wild-type (upper panel) and myo-2::GFP (lower panel) strains for one representative experiment. The solid, black vertical lines represent a 50% reduction in the total number of offspring (EC50). The dashed, black vertical lines represent the BMC, below which the reproductive rate is not significantly affected by cadmium.
