Additional file 1:

Experimental system and different exposures (1). Exposures to DMSO and/or 1NA-PP1. Each flow corresponds to a time-course as indicated in square boxes. L4 animals were exposed to DMSO/1NA-PP1, and their progenies were transferred to agar plates at different stages to be observed immediately or at an adult stage. Full lifetime exposures required four days of incubation; solutions were renewed after three days.

Experimental system and different exposures (2). Exposures to DMSO and/or 1NA-PP1. Each flow corresponds to a time-course as indicated in square boxes. Gravid adult animals were sacrificed to obtain synchronized populations. Synchronized animals were exposed to DMSO/1NA-PP1 during different larval stages and observed immediately or at an adult stage.
