Host defense alteration in Caenorhabditis elegans after evolution under ionizing radiation

Table 3 Effect of gamma irradiation treatment (0, 1.4 and 50 mGy.h^− 1) and standardized fitness at transfer 17 on survival rate after two days of exposure to S. marcescens for C. elegans populations from transfer 17. Estimated variance of random effects = 0.212. , P < 0.05; , P < 0.01; , P < 0.001
