IFT velocities of KAP-1 protein along middle segments of amphid in well-fed and starved worms.
| Strain | Condition | n/N | Mean (μm/s) | Median (μm/s) | Mann-Whitney’s U test |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wild-type | Well-fed | 45/10 | 0.73 ± 0.18 | 0.70 | |
| Starved | 26/5 | 0.86 ± 0.19 | 0.87 | p < 0.01 | |
| ttll-4(tm3310) | Well-fed | 45/8 | 0.65 ± 0.12 | 0.66 | |
| Starved | 41/5 | 0.69 ± 0.18 | 0.69 | n.s. | |
| pmk-1(km25) | Well-fed | 45/10 | 0.80 ± 0.17 | 0.79 | |
| Starved | 45/10 | 0.83 ± 0.15 | 0.79 | n.s. | |
| ttll-4(tm3310); [che-2::TTLL-4(Wild-type)] | Well-fed | 45/10 | 0.73 ± 0.15 | 0.74 | |
| Starved | 45/10 | 0.85 ± 0.16 | 0.85 | p < 0.01 | |

| Starved | 50/10 | 0.74 ± 0.20 | 0.71 | n.s. |
Data are expressed mean ± SD, median, and the number of particles (n) and number of worms analysed (N). Mann-Whitney’s U test was preformed to compare well-fed and starved worms for each strain. n.s.: not significant.
