From: Muscle and epidermal contributions of the structural protein β-spectrin promote hypergravity-induced motor neuron axon defects in C. elegans

Figure 6

Mutants of genes that mediate the physical connection between muscle, epidermis and cuticle also promote HIAD. (A) Quantification of the percentage of axon defects observed at 1G and 100G for each strain. N = total number of animals analyzed. Error bars indicate standard error. Statistical significance between 1 and 100G for each strain was analyzed by student’s T-test. ***p < 0.001. NS indicates not significant. (B) Increase or decrease in the percent of defective axons in hypergravity. Error bars indicate standard error. Statistical significance between N2 and each mutant strain was analyzed by student’s T-test. *p < 0.05, ***p < 0.001, NS indicates not significant.
