Loss or reduction of RNA-binding protein (RBP) genes results in a decrease in dendritic termini in PVD neurons. (A) PVD dendritic tree morphology includes primary (1°) branches extending from the cell body (CB) and a series of perpendicular secondary (2°), tertiary (3°), and quaternary (4°) branches. (B) Animals carrying a green fluorescent protein (GFP) marker for PVD neurons and a mutation in the RBP gene indicated have reduced dendritic termini compared with the control (ctl). (C) Animals carrying a GFP marker for PVD neurons and treated with RNA interference (RNAi) for the genes indicated have reduced dendritic termini compared with the control. mec-3(RNAi) is a positive control for RNAi and reduced dendrite phenotypes. Posterior is to the right in all images. Bar = 25 μm.
