Control of body size in C. elegans dependent on food and insulin/IGF-1 signal.

Genes to cells : devoted to molecular & cellular mechanisms - 1 Jun 2011

So Shuhei, Miyahara Kohji, Ohshima Yasumi

Abstract excerpt

The body size of an organism is governed by genetic and environmental factors. As an environmental factor, food appears to be the most important for body size control in animals. C. elegans worms are usually grown on an E. coli strain OP50. We show that the wild-type worms fed on another E. coli strain HB101 grow 1.6 times as large as those fed on OP50. The regression line representing the relationship between...
