Downregulation of genes involved in macroautophagy.

A. Fluorescence microscopy images showing the head region of transgenic worms expressing KFERQ-PAmCherry in a wild type background fed and starved for 2h with a control RNAi empty vector (a, b), RNAi targeting the lgg-1 (c,d) and lgg-2 (e,f), genes (magnification 40X). B. Quantification of the number of fluorescence puncta per head (Data correspond to Mean±SEM of 3 independent assay n ≥ 10 per condition *p ≤ 0.05, using Student’s t-test.
