Impact of pmr-1 silencing on C. elegans immunity.
(a) Expression of hsf-1, sek-1 and pmk-1 mRNA level in pmr-1 worms, as compared to control. Bars represent the mean of three independent experiments. Kaplan-Meier survival plot of (b) pmk-1 (c) sek-1 and (d) hsf-1 mutant worms with silenced pmr-1, after 48 h to infection with S. aureus, as compared to control. Asterisks indicate significant differences (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ns: not significant). n = 60 for each data point of single experiments.
