Loss of mbk-1 decreases stress resistance of germline-deficient C. elegans. Strains of the genetic backgrounds indicated, carrying loss of function mutations in daf-16 and/or mbk-1 or no additional mutation (control) were subjected to heat (a, c) or oxidative stress (b, d) and survival was monitored. Data represent mean survival ± SEM from 4 biological replicates of the experiment. Statistical significance of survival differences between groups was determined by repeated measures two-way ANOVA with Bonferroni post tests (* p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001).
