Egg-laying defects, defective oogenesis in 30% of mutants, reduced brood size and increased resistance to oxidative stress inducer paraquat (PubMed:20578245). Abnormal mitochondrial morphology with mitochondria appearing larger and as localized swellings and tubular extensions (PubMed:20578245, PubMed:21248201). Mitochondria also have elongated and curved cristae that are stacked with a reduced number of junctions (PubMed:20578245, PubMed:21248201). Double knockout with immt-2 results in a more reduced brood size and enhanced resistance to paraquat-induced oxidative stress as compared to the single mutant, and in addition, mutants are slower swimmers, have increased hydrogen peroxide-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS), and reduced mitochondrial mass accompanied by reduced superoxide anion oxidation (PubMed:20578245). Double knockout with chch-3 RNAi results in reduced or no brood, poor growth and withered gonads (PubMed:21248201). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20578245, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21248201}. |
