The RNAi phenotypes obtained among the progeny of Panagrolaimus females fed on E. coli clones expressing dsRNA for the Caenorhabaditis elegans for the embryonic lethal genes Ce-lmn-1 and Ce-ran-4. (A) Embryo from a P. superbus female fed on Ce-lmn-1; (B) Embryo from a P. superbus female fed on Ce-ran-4; (C) Control embryo from P. superbus fed on E. coli containing the empty L4440 plasmid vector; (D) Embryo from a Panagrolaimus sp. PS1159 female fed on Ce-lmn-1; (E) Embryo from a Panagrolaimus sp. PS1159 female fed on Ce-ran-4; (F) Control embryo from Panagrolaimus sp. PS1159 fed on E. coli containing the empty L4440 plasmid vector; (G) Embryo from a C. elegans female fed on Ce-lmn-1; (H) Embryo from a C. elegans female fed on Ce-ran-4; (I) Control embryo from C. elegans fed on E. coli containing the empty L4440 plasmid vector. The scale bar represents 30 μM.
