Both epidermal and muscle expression of UNC-70 is required to restore hypergravity-induced axonal defects. (A) Transgenic unc-70; juIs76 animals expressing epidermal UNC-70 (Ppdi-2::unc-70) or muscle UNC-70 (Pmyo-3::unc-70) were exposed to either normal 1G gravity or 100G hypergravity. N = total number of animals analyzed. Statistical significance between 1 and 100G determined by student’s T-test. ***p < 0.001. NS indicates no significance. Error bars indicate standard error. (B) Increase or decrease in the percent axon defects between 1 and 100G hypergravity. Statistical significance between N2 and each mutant strain determined by student’s T-test. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, NS indicates no significance. Error bars indicate standard error.
