Is functionally conserved and required for oogenesis and larval growth-2

compared to vector-treated control worms. One representative of three separate 26°C RNAi experiments is plotted. F1 progeny were followed for four days after N2 L4 worms were placed on RNAi plates. B. Vector-treated control N2 worms have a normal number of oocytes, but in RNAi treated worms the oocytes are absent (C) or present in reduced numbers (D). Embryo-like structures in the uterus (E, arrow), vacuoles (F, arrowheads), and cells (G, G', em) in the gonad are found occasionally. DTC cells are present in both vector- (H, H') and RNAi (I. I') treated worms. Deformed tail (J) and head epithelia (K) are seen in worms arrested at early larval stages. L. Undigested bacteria are found in the bloated intestinal lumen.<p><b>Copyright information:</b></p><p>Taken from "is functionally conserved and required for oogenesis and larval growth"</p><p>http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-213X/8/51</p><p>BMC Developmental Biology 2008;8():51-51.</p><p>Published online 9 May 2008</p><p>PMCID:PMC2409312.</p><p>
