ELT-1/GATA acts in parallel to DAF-12/NHR to regulate developmental timing in <i>C</i>. <i>elegans</i>.

<p>A-H, DIC and fluorescence images of representative young-adult stage animals with the indicated genotypes, showing that seam cell numbers, visualized with a <i>scm</i>::<i>GFP</i> marker, are drastically increased in <i>elt-1(ku491); daf-12(rh61rh411)</i> double mutants but not in each single mutant. I-K, Scatter plots showing the distribution of the number of seam cells per lateral side for each genotype at L4 and young adult stages; horizontal bar is mean. L, cellular lineage diagrams for mutants, showing variable cell fate defects in the <i>elt-1(ku491)</i> mutants during the L3 and L4 stages. **** indicates p-value < 0.0001. Data for L1 to L3 stages and summary statistics of data for all developmental stages are shown in <a href="http://www.plosgenetics.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pgen.1005099#pgen.1005099.s001" target="_blank">S1 Fig</a>.
