Skip to content We then compared the expression of a hbl-1 3′UTR reporter (18) in the mir-71(lf) mutants with that in wild type and found that the expression of this reporter was slightly derepressed at L3 in the mir-71 mutant (Fig. 4 F and G). (D) Bar graph showing that the delayed VPC timing defect of mir-71(lf) worms was enhanced by daf-16(lf) after 1 or 3 d of L1 starvation. (B) Bar graph showing the correlation between the severity of the retarded vulval precursor cell (VPC) timing defect of mir-71(lf) mutants and the duration of L1 starvation.
