Figure 1. Olfactory responses of C. elegans dauer larvae: Chemotaxis between adults and dauer larvae differ significantly in response to (A) 1% 2,3-butanedione, (B) 1% 2,3-pentanedione, and (C-D) 1% and 0.1% isoamyl alcohol in wild-type N2, as well as in the Daf-c mutants
daf-2 and
daf-7. For (A) and (C): One-way ANOVA between adults and dauer with Kruskal-Wallis test. Blue circles denote young adults and orange circles denote dauer larvae. For (B) and (D): Two-way ANOVA between adults and dauer with Sidak's multiple comparisons test. *P<0.05, **P<0.01, ****P<0.0001, ns: not significant. Error bars indicate the standard error of the mean. The number of assays performed is indicated at the base of each bar.
