Thymidylate synthase mRNA, relative to 18S rRNA, level was found to be constant in C. elegans adult worms, embryos and L1 and L3 larvae, only several-fold higher than that in dauer larvae. On the other hand, thymidylate synthase mRNA level in dauer larvae was not lowered when the larvae remained up to 6 weeks in the culture.
