lin-26 RNAi caused a weak but significant decrease in expression of
lin-39::GFP in P5.p and P6.p at the L3 stage, and qRT- PCR performed on
lin-26(
n156) mutant animals also showed a small but significant decrease in
lin-39 at the early L3 stage. Finally, authors investigated
lin-26 regulation of
lin-39 in the embryo, and found that fewer embryos expressed
lin-39::GFP in the P cells from mothers treated with
lin-26 RNAi, compared to control embryos.
