Fig. 4From: Long-term recovery from acute cold shock in Caenorhabditis elegans Cold Shock Recovery has diverse phenotypes. a–b 12 h post 4 h cold shock (HpCS), late stage embryos accumulate in the gonads, eventually causing a bag of worms phenotype. c–f 24 HpCS the intestine has drastically decreased in width and pigmentation and the gonad arms have shrunk. Braces indicate intestine width; brackets indicate the posterior gonad arm. g–j Cold-shocked worms that survive to 72 h largely regain their intestinal pigmentation and size; however, they exhibit a protruding vulva phenotype. Braces indicate intestine; arrow indicates vulvaBack to article page
