Ectopic apoptosis in kin-18 mutants depends on MPK-1 activation. Images of gonad with apoptotic nuclei marked by CED-GFP of (A′) wild type and (B′) kin-18. A and B are images of DIC used to visualize the germline tissue of wild type and kin-18, respectively. Images are taken as a single panel. Bar, 10 μm. (C) Quantification of CED-1::GFP marked apoptotic nuclei per gonad based on its position relative to the bend region. (D) Quantification of acridine orange marked apoptotic nuclei per gonad based on the position (at bend region or post-bend region). P < 0.01 between wild type and kin-18 for post bend in C and D (Mann–Whitney two-tailed test, 95% C.I.).
