Figure 5. IL2 dendrites arborize during dauer.

Figure 5

Confocal micrographs of an L3 (A) and dauer (B) animal expressing klp-6p::gfp in the six IL2 neurons. During non-dauer stages the IL2s are unbranched with a single dendrite projecting anteriorly (left) and a single axon projecting posteriorly (right) from the cell body. During dauer the IL2s arborize extensively, increasing their total dendritic length three-fold, with the bulk of their arbors originating from just four of the six cells. Scale bars, 10 μm.
