Fig 2. Apoptosis maintains embryonic viability in stressful conditions.
(A) Embryonic survival (living L1s / (living L1s + dead embryos)) of wildtype (N2) and ced-3(n718) animals grown on control NGM plates, ethanol supplemented plates, or subjected to liquid starvation for 20h from L4+20h. (B) Survival of embryos (living L1s / (living L1s + dead embryos)) laid between L4+24h and L4+72h from wildtype (N2) and ced-3(n718) animals exposed to HCl or paraquat supplemented plates or control NGM plates for 12 hours at L4+12h. Bold blue or red bars indicate estimated marginal means +/- standard error. (* p = 0.01–0.05, ** p = 0.001–0.01, *** p < 0.001; black asterisks indicate comparisons within environment while colored asterisks indicate comparisons within genotype). For statistical models (betabinomial regression) and results, see S2 Table.
