Figure 4. Newly isolated alg-1 alleles are antimorphic, exhibit retarded development, and display phenotypes more severe than those of alg-1(0).

Figure 4

(A, B) Bar graphs showing the percent of young adult (YA) animals with wild type alae formation (A) and col-19::gfp adult marker expression (B), where alg-1(anti) alleles have a dosage dependent effect on both phenotypes. (C) Schematic of representative V1–V4 and V6 lineage cell divisions in the wild type, alg-1(anti), and other heterochronic mutants. (D) alg-1(anti) mutations display increased numbers of seam cells as young adults. ***p<0.001. All strains carry lin-31(lf) and col-19::gfp in the background. The lin-31 mutation is present in order to suppress alg-1(anti) vulval bursting phenotypes by non-heterochronic methods. n = number of animals scored.
