From: Systemic RNAi mediated gene silencing in the anhydrobiotic nematode Panagrolaimus superbus
The percentage of embryonic lethal RNAi phenotypes obtained by feeding P. superbus and Panagrolaimus sp. PS1159 on E. coli feeding clones expressing dsRNA for the ef1b and rps-2 genes from Panagrolaimus sp. PS1159. (A) The percentage of embryonic lethal progeny observed among the progeny of female nematodes exposed to dsRNA for P-rps-2; (B) The percentage of embryonic lethal progeny observed in nematodes exposed to dsRNA for P-ef1b. 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 containing a minimum of 20 embryos ***P < 0.001; **P < 0.01 as compared to controls using a 2-tailed T test.
