[34]

cdh-3::cfp

C, D, E, F

L4.1 to L4.9*

[4] Variable expression in all sub-stages; low level of expression in B2, C from L4.1 to L4.7

daf-6::cfp

E, F

L4.3 to L4.9*

[36] Expression in E variable in L4.3 and L4.4, consistent in later sub-stages; expression in F variable throughout

best-13::gfp

B1, B2, C, D, E

L4.1 to L4.9*

[37] Variable expression possibly due to loss of extrachromosomal array
