Figure 1. Development of C. elegans and SB347.

Figure 1

In C. elegans, the first larval stage (L1) can facultatively develop into a stress-resistant dauer stage when exposed to unfavorable growth conditions. The initial progeny of SB347 selfing hermaphrodites is largely composed of L1s with a large gonad (LG) primordium. These larvae develop into males or females. Later progeny have a smaller gonad (SG) that obligatorily undergo dauer formation independently of growth conditions, later becoming hermaphrodites.
