Figure 2From: The DEAD-box protein MEL-46 is required in the germ line of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegansmel-46(yt5) is maternal effect lethal and fails to express ceh-13::gfp. Genotypes and reporter constructs are indicated. (A, C, E) DIC images of live animals. (B, D, F) fluorescent pictures of the same embryos shown in A, C, and E respectively. Compared to B, panels D and F were deliberately over exposed. Therefore the background caused by autofluorescence of the intestine appears stronger. All images were taken with a 40× objective. The scale bars are 50 μm.Back to article page
