Figure 1. Phenotypic analysis of
dkf-1 mutants :A. Thrashing rates of young (day 1 adulthood) Bristol N2 wild-types versus two independent
dkf-1 mutants (
ok2696,
tm4906). Only the
tm4906 strain showed a reduction in thrashing. B. Thrashing rates of older (day 5 adulthood) worms of the same strains. Both
dkf-1 strains showed a reduction in thrashing. C. Aldicarb sensitivity of young (day 1) Bristol N2 wild-types versus two independent
dkf-1 mutants. Both
dkf-1 strains were hypersensitive to aldicarb in comparison to wild-types D. Aldicarb sensitivity of older (day 5) worms of the same strains. Both
dkf-1 strains were resistant to aldicarb in comparison to wild-types.
