<i>mtm-1</i> negatively regulates cell corpse engulfment through <i>ced-5/12/10</i>.

RNAi experiments were performed as described in Materials and Methods. 1mtm-1(ok742) is balanced by hT2 and non-green progeny were scored as mtm-1(ok742) homozygotes. 2Strains also carry rrf-3(pk1426). 3Strains were kept on NGM plates seeded with OP50. 4Strains also carry unc-101(m1). 5Cell corpses were scored in the head region of 4-fold stage embryos and are shown as mean±s.e.m. At least 15 embryos were scored for each strain. 6Unpaired t tests were performed to compare the average number of cell corpses in mtm-1 RNAi-treated animals with that in control animals, or to compare the number of cell corpses in double mutants with that in the respective single mutants.
