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

Table 3 The average number of SCM::GFP positive nuclei observed in different genetic backgrounds

Genotype	Hypodermal seam-cell nuclei	Range	n (sides)
Wild type	16.00 ± 0.08	15-17	49
mdf-2(tm2190)	14.28 ± 0.17	8-19	64
ced-3(n717) unc-26(e205)	15.92 ± 0.08	15-17	48
ced-3(n717) unc-26(e205) mdf-2(tm2190)	14.27 ± 0.25	8-17	55
fzr-1(ok380)	15.98 ± 0.07	15-17	50
fzr-1(ok380); mdf-2(tm2190)	14.82 ± 0.26	10-20	50
fzy-1(h1983)	16.04 ± 0.12	14-18	50
fzy-1(h1983); mdf-2(tm2190)	16.08 ± 0.11	14-18	50

All of the strains are homozygous for the seam cell marker wIs51 (SCM::GFP). The number of SCM::GFP positive nuclei was scored in young adult hermaphrodites. Note that data for wild-type and mdf-2(tm2190) young adults are duplicates of the data shown in Table 2.
