AB  - During its first larval stage (L1), the nematode C. elegans makes a critical decision regarding its developmental trajectory based on environmental conditions. Poor conditions such food scarcity, crowding, or high temperatures promote the entry into a stress-resistant, non-aging, diapause stage named dauer where they can survive for months. Upon improved conditions, dauer larvae resume development as postdauer (PD) L4 larvae and continue to reproductive adulthood as PD adults (Cassada and Russell, 1975). If conditions are favorable, L1 larvae proceed through additional larval stages (L2-L4) until reaching reproductive adulthood (control adults or CON) (Sulston and Horvitz, 1977).
