No changes in the morphology of Amsh glia and amphid sensory in channel and transporter mutants

(A) A florescence image showing Amsh cells expressing GCamP-6s under the control of the Amsh specific promoter T02B11.3.¹⁶ The cell body, process, and ensheathing glial ending are shown by the dotted line. The size bar corresponds to 20 μm.

(B–D) The area of cell body, length of process, and area of ensheathing endings, respectively, of Amsh cells in WT, kqt-2, egl-36, kcc-1, clh-3, best-9, and ent-4 mutant worms.

(E) A confocal image of the cilium of an ASH neuron in a wild type worm.

(F–G) The length and area of ASH neuron’s cilia in wild type and mutants with reduced octanol avoidance.

(H) A confocal image of the cilium of an AWC neuron in a wild type worm.

(I) The area of the cilia of AWC neurons in wild type and mutants with reduced attraction to isoamyl alcohol egl-36, kcc-1, and clh-3 worms.

(J) The cilium of an ASEL neuron in a wild type worm.

(K–L) The length and area of the cilium of an ASER and ASEL neuron is shown for WT and clh-3 mutant as indicated. A represents anterior, P represents posterior. Data are shown as individual data points as well mean ± SE. The size bars for e, h, and j correspond to 5 μm p values were calculated by ANOVA with Tukey’s correction. n is shown in the columns.
