ced-4-dependent reduction of cell size in tfg-1(RNAi) mutants.

	Genotype	L4440(RNAi)		tfg-1(RNAi)
Number of muscle	WT	94.6 ± 0.9	(n=15)	94.2 ± 1.9	(n=15)

Muscle cell size	WT	1709.2 ± 224.9	(n=27)	679 ± 137.9	(n=42) ^**

(µm²) ^*	ced-4(n1162)	1322.5 ± 282	(n=50)	1254.4 ± 237.5	(n=56)

Muscle nucleus size	WT	79.7 ± 15.8	(n=27)	46.3 ± 9.7	(n=42) ^**

(µm²) ^*	ced-4(n1162)	71.2 ± 14.9	(n=50)	69.1 ± 14.3	(n=56)

Total cell number	WT	941.3 ± 43.6	(n=27)	938.7 ± 44.7	(n=25)

RNAi was performed by feeding with either a control feeder (L4440, carrying an uninserted plasmid) or a tfg-1 RNAi feeder. Muscle cell and nucleus size were determined as the area of the largest section through the cell.
