Effect of the nhr-69 mutation on dauer recovery of TGF-β mutants.

Numbers are percent dauer recovery (average ± S.E.M.). (N), population size. Three young adults for each genotype were placed on NG agar plates seeded with OP50, then removed after they laid 40–50 eggs. Dauer larvae were induced by the restrictive temperature (25.5°C), and plates were transferred to permissive temperature (15°C) after 72 hrs. The number of L4s and adults recovered from dauer was scored visually at 24 hrs or 48 hrs after temperature shift. mIs39[nhr-69p::nhr-69::gfp, rol-6(su1006)].aRecovery at 24 hrs.
