Fig 4. Three homeobox genes control the identity of the AVJ neuron class.

Fig 4

Fig 4A: mls-2 (cc615), unc-30 (e191) and lin-11(ot1026) mutant animals show defects in the expression of NeuroPAL (otIs669) in AVJ. Neuron of interest is outlined in solid white when expressing wildtype reporter colors, and dashed white when one or all colors are lost. Representative images of wildtype and mutant worms are shown with 5 μm scale bars. Graphs compare expression in wildtype worms with the number of animals examined listed at the bottom of the bar. P-values were calculated by Fisher’s exact test. Fig 4B: mls-2 (cc615), unc-30 (e191) and lin-11(ot1026) mutant animals show defects in the expression of an nlp-8 reporter transgene (otIs711) in AVJ. Neuron of interest is outlined in solid red when expressing wildtype reporter colors, and dashed red when one or all colors are lost. Representative images of wildtype and mutant worms are shown with 5 μm scale bars. Graphs compare expression in wildtype worms with the number of animals examined listed at the bottom of the bar. P-values were calculated by Fisher’s exact test.
