Table 1.

Gravid adults were picked to culture plates and allowed to lay eggs for 16 h. Twenty of the youngest larvae from the hatched eggs on the plate were transferred to each of three locomotion plates and monitored twice a day over the next 10 d. Double mutants containing ev802 were derived from dpy-5(e61) balanced heterozygotes (see strain list in Materials and Methods) and identified based on their egl-30-null-like phenotype. Data are the means and standard errors of three populations of 20 animals each. (N.A.) Not applicable.

^aTime range covering first and last animals to reach adulthood of the 60 animals being followed for each strain.

^bNone of these animals grew past the mid-larval stage.
