The graph shows the mitotic numbers of trunks during different time points of regeneration in the starved condition for cct3A RNAi and controls. Error bars are s.d. from the mean and asterisks indicate P < 0.001 (three asterisks), P < 0.01 (two asterisks) and n.s. indicates not significant using two-tailed Student's test with equal variance. n ≥ 9 planarians per time point. Also shown are maximum projections of representative trunks labelled with anti-H3P at different time points of regeneration in the starved condition. On the bottom, the number of planarians with the phenotype shown from the total is displayed. Note that at 50dR planarians show few (a4) or no mitoses (a5). The dashed line delimits the body of the planarian.


Maximum projections of representative trunks after FISH for smedwi - 1 at different time points of regeneration under starved and feeding conditions . On the bottom , the number of planarians with the phenotype shown from the total is displayed . At 15dR the expression levels are similar . At 30dR some planarians have almost no expression ( c5 ) and at 50dR almost all planarians show no expression ( c10 and c11 ) in starved conditions . Under the feeding condition the expression levels at 30dS are similar . On the bottom , the number of planarians with the phenotype shown from the total is displayed . The dashed line delimits the body of the planarian .

The cartoon represents a regenerating trunk and the squares display the region analyzed at the anterior " A " and posterior " P " blastemas . The images are TUNEL maximum projections of representative blastemas from 72 hours and 4 days regenerating trunks in starved conditions . The dashed line delimits the body of the planarian . The graph shows the number of TUNEL + cells per mm2 . The differences in cell death are not significant ( n . s . ) at 72hR ( two - tailed Student ' s test with equal sample variance ) and significant ( * * * P < 0 . 001 using two - tailed Student ' s test with equal variance ) at 4dR . n ≥ 5 planarians per condition .

The cartoon represents a regenerating trunk and the squares display the region analyzed at the anterior "A" and posterior "P" blastemas. The images are TUNEL maximum projections of representative blastemas from 72 hours and 4 days regenerating trunks in starved conditions. The dashed line delimits the body of the planarian. The graph shows the number of TUNEL+ cells per mm2. The differences in cell death are not significant (n.s.) at 72hR (two-tailed Student's test with equal sample variance) and significant (***P < 0.001 using two-tailed Student's test with equal variance) at 4dR. n ≥ 5 planarians per condition.


Volcano plot displaying DEGs in starved cct3A ( RNAi ) planarians compared to controls at 72hR ( q - value < 0 . 05 ) . Y - axis indicates the negative log10 of the false discovery rate ( FDR ) ( q - value ) . X - axis indicates the beta values ( b ) , a biased estimator of the fold change . For better visualization , 13 dots with - log10 ( q - value ) > 20 are not displayed . This includes cct3A with q = 0 . Notice that when down - regulating cct3A in starved planarians , xbp1 , atf6 , bip - 1 and a repertoire of ER chaperones are down - regulated , whereas dnajb9 , a repressor of the UPR , and other ccts are up - regulated .

Volcano plot displaying DEGs in starved cct3A(RNAi) planarians compared to controls at 72hR (q-value < 0.05). Y-axis indicates the negative log10 of the false discovery rate (FDR) (q- value). X-axis indicates the beta values (b), a biased estimator of the fold change. For better visualization, 13 dots with -log10 (q-value) > 20 are not displayed. This includes cct3A with q = 0. Notice that when down-regulating cct3A in starved planarians, xbp1, atf6, bip-1 and a repertoire of ER chaperones are down-regulated, whereas dnajb9, a repressor of the UPR, and other ccts are up-regulated.
