  1. ***p < 0.0001, **p < 0.005, *p < 0.05; Fisher's Exact Test. The p values for all genotypes were calculated as compared to wild-type males, except for heat-shocked HS::EGF worms that were compared to heat-shocked wild-type males.
  2. a The alleles used were lin-15(e1763) and let-60(n1046). The integrated HS::EGF transgene syIs197 was used. All strains contained him-5(e1490).
  3. b The integrated ceh-13::GFP transgene syIs145 was used.
