Fig. 9. HSN axon extension in EGL-20 signaling mutants.

Fig. 9.

(A–C) HSN axon extension at the L1 stage in wild-type, egl-20(n585), and vang-1(tm1422) animals. Whereas in wild-type animals the axon protrudes in the early L4 stage, in the mutants axon protrusions are observed at earlier stages. Ventral is down and anterior is to the left. Scale bar: 5 µm. (D) Percentage of HSN neurons with a single axon in L1 and L2 stages. A neuron was scored as having an extension if the length of the neurite was at least twice the anterior to posterior length of the cell body. Significant differences (one-tailed Student's t-test), *P<0.05; **P<0.01; ***P<0.001; error bars indicated the SEM; for each condition, n≧105 animals.
