Various defects were observed in PVD neuron of <i>L4 rbm-26 (P80L)</i>, which were absent or extremely rare in wild type.

<p>(A) Wild-type L4 PVD–primary (1°), secondary (2°), tertiary (3°), and quaternary (4°) dendrites can be seen. (B) Beading can be seen in tertiary dendrites and some quaternary dendrites are missing in <i>rbm-26 (P80L)</i> L4 PVD neuron. (C) Quantification of phenotypes observed in <i>rbm-26 (P80L)</i> mutants, and 50 wild-type L4 PVD neurons were observed and 60 rbm-26 (P80L) L4 PVD neurons were observed. PVD neurons were visualized by the <i>wdIs52 [F49H12</i>.<i>4</i>::<i>GFP + unc-119(+)]</i> transgene, which expresses GFP in PVD. Asterisks indicate statistically significant difference relative to wild type, Z-test for proportions (* <i>p</i> < 0.05), and error bars represent the standard error of the proportion.
