An integrated data resource for C. elegans and related nematodes

Expression Pattern :

Pattern  Northern hybridization signals from daf-4 2.0 kb and 2.9 kb RNAs were quantified using a phosphorimager, and then evaluated by the ratio of 2.0 to 2.9 kb signal for each sample. The 2.0 kb transcript was slightly more abundant than the 2.9 kb during all stages grown in abundant food, with a ratio between 1.2 and 1.9 in L2-L4 larvae and adults. In cultures where food was scarce, and animals were crowded, developing larvae entered and remained in dauer diapause, and the ratio of 2.0 to 2.9 kb transcript signals increased to 5.0. Dauer larvae transferred to fresh medium with plentiful food resumed growth through post-dauer stages PD1 and PD2, and the 2.0 to 2.9 kb ratio decreased correspondingly to levels in well fed populations.
