Figure 7 

Genetic interaction between emb-9 and gon-1. Phenotypes of posterior gonads of gon-1(e1254) (A and B), emb-9 (tk75); gon-1(e1254) (C), and gon-1(q518) (D) hermaphrodites. Arrows and arrowheads are as in Figure 1. DTCs of posterior gonads in emb-9(tk75); gon-1(e1254) and gon-1(q518) animals were often arrested during migration on the ventral muscle. Most emb-9(tk75); gon-1(e1254) and gon-1(q518) mutants showed weak or no expansion of gonads. Bar, 50 µm. (E) Quantification of gonad arms that failed to reach the dorsal muscle. Data are shown as the mean ± SD. Results for Fisher’s exact test vs. gon-1(e1254) are indicated; **P < 0.01; NS, not significant. (F) Effects of extrachromosomal arrays containing mutant emb-9, wild-type (wt) emb-9, and wild-type fbl-1 transgenes. Quantification of gonad arms that failed to reach the dorsal muscle. Data are shown as the mean ± SD. Results for Fisher’s exact test vs. gon-1(e1254) are indicated; **P < 0.01; NS, not significant.
