<i>utx-1</i> postembryonic phenotypes.

<p>(A) Representative DIC images of L1 larvae tails (upper panel) and L1 larvae (lower panel) of N2, <i>utx-1(RNAi)</i> and <i>utx-1(tm3118)</i> animals. Animals are oriented anterior to the left. Scale bar is 50 µm. (B) Representative DIC images of gonads in adults N2, <i>utx-1(RNAi)</i> and <i>utx-1(tm3118)</i> animals. Scale bar is 25 µm. In the upper panels, blacks lines indicate the migration of the gonad arm. In the lower panels, black lines indicate the contours of the oocytes. Animals are oriented anterior to the left. (C) Percentages of posterior (% tail defects) and gonad (% gonadal defects) defects in the indicated strains are shown. For <i>RNAi</i>, F1 larvae and adults from at least three independent experiments were analyzed. (D) <i>utx-1</i> and <i>jmjd-3.1</i> mRNA levels in embryos after control (black bars) or <i>utx-1</i> (white bars) <i>RNAi</i> treatment as measured by qPCR, using <i>rpl-26</i> mRNA as internal control. *P<0.01 (Student's t-test).
