From: Systemic RNAi mediated gene silencing in the anhydrobiotic nematode Panagrolaimus superbus
The penetrance of the dsRNAi embryonic lethal phenotypes observed among the progeny of C. elegans , P. superbus and Panagrolaimus sp. PS1159 following ingestion of E. coli expressing dsRNA for the embryonic lethal genes Ce-lmn-1 and Ce-ran-4. (A) The percentage of embryonic lethal RNAi phenotypes observed in progeny of nematodes exposed to Ce-ran-4; (B) The percentage of embryonic lethal RNAi phenotypes observed in progeny of nematodes exposed to Ce-lmn-1. For both genes tested the control nematodes were fed on E. coli containing the empty L4440 plasmid vector. Data are presented as the mean and standard error of the mean of a minimum of 5 biological replicates, each replicate count containing a minimum of 50 embryos. ***P < 0.001; **P < 0.01 as compared to controls using a 2-tailed T test.
