Table 1. Notch activity regulates arousal during L4/A molting quiescence.

(A) Notch activity regulates arousal thresholds during L4/A molting quiescence. % of animals failing to respond to body touch with a hair during quiescent bouts is reported. Notch activity correlates with arousal thresholds. High Notch activity results in animals with high arousal thresholds, and vice versa.

^{*, @, and #}ANOVA analysis between the genotypes: p<10⁻³.

^{^}p<0.002 vs. wild type.

^$p<0.003 for lin-12p::lin-12 compared to transgenic control animals expressing lin-12p::gfp in pha-1 rescue.

^&p<0.008 for che-2p::glp-1(IC) compared to transgenic control animals expressing che-2p::gfp in wild type background. See supplemental methods for Table 1 for details. Similar results were obtained in osm-11(OE) -induced quiescent adult animals (see text).
