Figure 4From: mab-31 and the TGF-β pathway act in the ray lineage to pattern C. elegansmale sensory raysEpistatic analysis of Sma/Mab pathway in ray 6 specification. Frequency of ray fusion phenotypes (rays 6-7 fusion or rays 6-4 fusion) is shown in double mutants of mab-31 with those of Sma/Mab pathway (A) and with those showing rays 6-4 fusion phenotypes. In double mutants of mab-31 and mab-18 (E), only rays 6-4 fusion phenotype was observed, as compared with wild-type (B), mab-18 (C), and mab-31 (D) male tails. Ventral view for B-E. Scale bar = 20 μm.Back to article page
