Fig. 3: Summary of adaptation phenotypes.
From: C. elegans sperm and oocytes differentially transmit diet-induced adaptations to their progeny
“Generations to Adapt” refers to the first generation after which brood size appears to plateau (no or minimal significant increase, see Source Data file). “Embryo Viability” is the percentage of G0 embryos that successfully hatched. “Oocyte Viability” is a representation of the percentage of G0 sperm-depleted hermaphrodites that produced cross progeny - ++++ > 80%, +++ 60-80%, ++ 20-60%, + < 20%. “Reduced Sperm” indicates whether sperm-depleted hermaphrodites produced cross progeny. “Male Progeny” indicates yes ( > 2%), low ( > 0.5%), or no increased production of self-progeny males. hsp-6p::gfp & irg-5p::gfp show the average fold change in gfp expression level relative to adapted-to-adapted control for each reporter (Fig. S1). Fold-change values that were statistically significant in both biological replicates are shown in red font. Maladapted and Co-adapted columns present a schematized version of the results presented in Fig. 2 for ease of comparison.
