Fig. 2. — Response to doses of crude pheromone in wild-type C. briggsae and C. elegans. a) The dauer curve of wild-type nematodes treated with crude pheromone prepared from wild-type nematodes creates a linear increase in dauer percentage with the increase in the amount of pheromone, approaching 100%. b) Cbr-daf-22(sy1524) crude pheromone produces no dauer-inducing effect on wild-type C. briggsae nematodes. c) Cbr-glo-1(sy1382) crude pheromone produces a dauer curve that remains stable despite changing amounts of dauer pheromone and never approaches 100%. d) When carried out in C. elegans, wild-type pheromone, e) Cel-daf-22 pheromone, and f) Cel-glo-1 pheromone produce very similar curves to their C. briggsae counterparts. Error bars indicate standard deviation.
