Fig 7. Netrin signaling controls dorsal-ventral growth of the PLM branch.

Fig 7

(A) Quantification of branchless phenotypes in the Netrin pathway mutants. N are numbers of PLM neurons scored. ***, p < 0.005; N.S., not significant, two proportion z test. (B) Representative epifluorescence images of COR-1::mCherry(twnEx195) in the PLM process of the wild type and the mutants. Arrowheads, COR-1 puncta; asterisks, PLM cell bodies. Scale bar = 10 μm. (C) Quantification of COR-1::mCherry in the wild type, unc-6 and unc-40 mutants. Error bar = S.E.M. ***, p < 0.005, N.S., not significant, Mann-Whitney U test. (D) PLM branching pattern. N.S., not significant, two proportion z test. N > 30. (E) Diagram (left) and scoring (right) of PLM branching pattern. Blue shading indicates the ventral (normal) or dorsal (ectopic) UNC-6 gradient.
