Mean pharynx and body length measurements ± standard deviation of sodium azide anesthetized wild type (Wt) and sma-3 mutant animals at 120 ± 1 hrs AEL from various sma-3 minigene rescue experiments. Vertical labels indicate tissue specific promoter-sma-3 minigene fusion rescue constructs in each strain, except for elt-3p::gfp::sma-3 which indicates the elt-3p::gfp::sma-3 transgene (pCS223) was used. In each case, we measured animals carrying the transgenic extrachromosomal array (+) and siblings that lacked the array (−), as indicated by a transformation marker (either elt-2p::tdTomato::His2B or myo-3p::wCherry). Horizontal labels indicate genetic background. All transgenic animal means (+) were statistically significantly different from non-transgenic sibling means (−) (p < 0.001). ** denotes significant differences of p < 0.001, * denotes significant differences of p < 0.05.
