Heat stress resistance in the presence of HT and HD. At the third day of adulthood (day 1) wild type nematodes were exposed to heat stress at 37 °C for 3 h prior monitoring survival. The survival is plotted as the percentage of the initial population in the control group as well as in the HT (A) and HD (B) treated groups. Three biological replicates were combined with a total of ≥52 nematodes per treatment. Statistical significance was calculated by log-rank test. Differences compared to control were considered significant at p < 0.05 (*) and p < 0.001 (**).
