Fig. 1. Talin RNAi results in DTC migration defects. N2 hermaphrodites were grown on E. coli HT115(DE3) carrying empty vector (A) or pPD129.36-talin plasmid (B). Arrow in B points to clearing in the body cavity from displacement of the dark gray intestines. Both animals are anterior to the left, ventral up. DIC images show wild-type (C) and 52-hour talin RNAi (D) hermaphrodite gonad arms. Arrows indicate locations of DTCs. Anterior is to the left, ventral down in both images. Scale bars: 100 µm (A,B), 25 µm (C,D).
