Sheath cell contractions in unc-24(e138) control worms and itr-1(sy327);unc-24(e138) mutants. (A) Rates of sheath contraction during a single ovulatory cycle. Time 0 is defined as the time ovulation was completed. Values are means ± SE (n = 11–13). (B and C) Sheath cell contraction rate and displacement under basal conditions and during ovulation in control and itr-1(sy327) mutants. Ovulatory contraction rate in control worms is the peak rate observed. In itr-1(sy327) worms, ovulatory contraction rate was defined as the maximal rate observed between –3 and –1 min. Values are means ± SE (n = 11–14). *p < 0.0001 compared with control basal contractions or displacement. **p < 0.0005 compared with control ovulatory contractions. ***p < 0.04 compared with control displacement.
