From: C. elegans serine-threonine kinase KIN-29 modulates TGFβ signaling and regulates body size formation
The small body size phenotype of kin-29 animals is a result of defects in postembryonic development. N2, sma-6(wk7), kin-29(wk61), kin-29(oy38) and kin-29(oy39) were hatched and synchronized as L1 animals. L1 animals were measured at time zero and then at 24-hour time points spanning a 96 hour period. kin-29 animals are developmentally delayed and over time, kin-29(lf) animals never reach a wild-type body size. Perimeter measurements for at least 22 animals were averaged at each time point. Error bars represent standard deviation values. Values for N2 and kin-29 mutants are significantly different (p < 0.001).
