Deletion of ccdc-55 results in larval arrest. DIC images of A: an arrested ccdc-55(ok2851) animal 54 hours after hatching, B: a second larval stage (L2) wildtype (N2) animal, and C: a young adult animal the same chronological age as the arrested larva in (A). Despite the larval arrest, the gonad continues to elongate. DIC images of D: the gonad of an arrested ccdc-55(ok2851) animal 54 hours after hatching, and E: the gonad of a size-matched L2 larva. Arrows indicate the positions of the DTCs. Scale bars are 20 μm. F: Lifespan analysis of wildtype (N2) and ccdc-55(ok2851) animals.
