The impact of size control genes on ASEL/R size. (A) ASEL/R soma size differences in various genetic backgrounds. See Table 1 for more details on identity of genes and for references on individual genes. Error bars are standard error of the mean (s.e.m.); *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 for comparisons within a genotype. Statistical comparisons are also shown between mutant and wild-type (WT) ASEL and mutant and wild-type ASER; these use the Bonferroni correction. Mutants that affect both ASEL and ASER size are highlighted in grey. (B) Measurements as in (A), but for those mutants that must be measured at the first larval state due to growth arrest or death shortly after that state. Error bars are s.e.m.; *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 for comparisons within a genotype. Statistical comparisons are also shown between mutant and wild-type ASEL and mutant and wild-type ASER; these use the Bonferroni correction. Wild-type (N2) and fib-1 mutant data are also shown on a single animal basis, with ASEL and ASER represented in two open circles, as shown in Figure 1. (C) Structure of the fib-1 deletion allele.
