Linear relationship between pharynx length and body length in mutants of the TGF-β/Sma/Mab pathway and strains carrying various sma-3 rescuing extrachromosomal arrays in the sma-3(e491) mutant background. One promoter refers to cases where only a single sma-3 minigene rescue construct was used (either myo-2p::sma-3, marg-1p::sma-3, or rol-6p::sma-3). Two and three promoters refer to strains carrying all indicated transgenes. Wild type (Wt) N2 is included for comparison. The correlation coefficient for the linear model is R2 = 0.97. Notably, dpy-5 and dpy-10 mutants (black diamonds; not included in the linear model) do not fall on the line.
