doi: 10.3390/biology12030464
Figure Lengend Snippet: Dauer formation assay of the calu-1 ( tm1783 ) mutant. ( a ) Schematic diagram of the dauer formation assay. Four independent assays were performed, each in duplicate or triplicate, using ascr#2 ( b ) or crude dauer pheromone ( c ). Mean ratios with SEM (standard error of mean) are represented in bar graphs. ***, p < 0.001; *, p < 0.05; ns, not significant.
Article Snippet: The following strains were used in this study: Bristol N2 (wild type), calu-1 ( tm1783 ) X, CF1038 daf-16 ( mu86 ) I, CB1370 daf-2 ( e1370 ) III, BC12836 dpy-5 ( e907 ) /dpy-5 ( e907 ), and sIs11268 (rCes M03F4.7:GFP + pCeh361). calu-1 ( tm1783 ) X was obtained from the National BioResource Project, Japan and others were obtained from the Caenorhabditis Genetics Center (CGC).
Techniques: Tube Formation Assay, Mutagenesis
