Fig. 8. C. elegans susceptibility to α-terthienyl was affected by the activities of skn-1 and wdr-23. C. elegans susceptibility to α-terthienyl was affected by the activities of skn-1 and wdr-23. Mortality percentage (mean±s.e.) of nematodes treated by RNAi after exposure of α-terthienyl for (A) 24 h, (B) 48 h and (C) 72 h. Mean±s.e. of each mortality percentage was calculated from over 12 wells of 96-well experiments; more than four wells were used in one experiment (total >80 nematodes per sample) and these were repeated three times independently (*P<0.05, **P<0.005, Mann–Whitney U-test followed by Bonferroni correction).
