From: Spindle assembly checkpoint genes reveal distinct as well as overlapping expression that implicates MDF-2/Mad2 in postembryonic seam cell proliferation in Caenorhabditis elegans

Figure 4

mdf-2/ MAD2 (a spindle-checkpoint gene) is expressed in hypodermal seam cells and is important for their proper development. (A) Expression driven by mdf-2 promoter in hypodermis (long arrow) and seam cells (short arrow) using the multi-copy stable line JNC116. The scale bar represents 25μm. (B) An adult wild-type worm containing 16 SCM::GFP nuclei, originating from H0-H2, V1-V6, and from the T seam cell. (C) Quantitative analysis of 251 animals with the seam cell defect. Black bars represent percentage of extra cells observed in individual seam cells, while the grey bars represent percent of the individual seam cells that are missing in the defective animals.
