Gene regulation of trxr-1 and trxr-2 under stress (A) GFP fluorescence in translational trxr-1 and trxr-2 transgenic worms was significantly increased when challenged with heat shock. The paraquat treatment increased the fluorescence in intestine (arrow) and pharynx (arrowhead). (B) Fluorescence intensity of entire worm in (A) was quantified. t-test, *p < 0.001 (C) Endogenous mRNA level in each experimental condition was measured using qRT-PCR, and data from three independent experiments were quantified. t-test, *p < 0.001.
