Table 2. Complete list of genes that exhibited a consistent and greater than twofold change in expression in the F1 progeny of parents exposed to P. vranovensisor osmotic stress in only species that intergenerationally adapted to stress.
Genes listed for P. vranovensis were identified by comparing genes that change consistently in C. elegans and C. kamaaina, but not C. briggsae. Genes listed for osmotic stress were identified by comparing genes that change consistently in C.elegans, C. briggsae, and C. kamaaina, but not in C. tropicalis. Bold font indicates genes that have already been demonstrated to be involved in C. elegans adaption to these stresses.
