Due to variability of RNAi, results are separated into parallel control experiments.

Fragments of oocyte in oviduct, spermatheca or uterus as scored with DIC

n = number of gonad arms

Control RNAi is the L4440 “empty vector” plasmid in E. coli HT115.

Statistics: 1-sided Fisher exact test, ns= p>0.05, * = p<0.05, ***= p<0.001, in pairwise comparison with control RNAi in the same marker strain.
