Figures & data

Figure 1 Overexpression of CAV-1 improves fecundity in heat-shocked worms carrying extrachromosomal arrays. Individual L4 stage worms were placed onto plates and allowed to lay eggs. N = 10 for each condition. Worms were transferred every 12 hours and the number of offspring on each plate was determined. (A) Shows the brood size of animals that received no heat-shock treatment, assayed at 20°C and (B) shows brood sizes for worms that were heat-shocked for 1 hour, twice daily, at 33°C. N2 indicates wild-type and pHS indicates the promoter from the heat-shock gene, hsp-16-2.
