Figure 6. hsr-9 mutations attenuate apoptosis induced by γ-rays.

Figure 6

(A) Wild type, hsr-9(ok759), hsr-9(ttTi14815), and cep-1(lg12501) L4 stage worms were irradiated with γ-rays (120 Gy), and stained with SYTO-12 dye at 0, 12, 24, and 36 h after γ-ray treatment. Intensely stained pachytene stage apoptotic cells were scored in each gonad arm. (B) Wild type and hsr-9(ok759) worms were fed E. coli cells containing double-stranded RNA of cep-1 from the L1 stage. Wild type, hsr-9(ok759), cep-1(lg12501), cep-1(RNAi), and hsr-9(ok759);cep-1(RNAi) L4 stage worms were treated with γ-rays (120 Gy), and apoptotic germ cells were counted as in (A).
