Ascorbic acid prevents juglone-induced effects in CL2070. Ascorbic acid at 250 μM blocks nuclear translocation of DAF-16 in TJ356 (a), and in CL2070 hsp-16.2p::GFP expression (b), increase in GSH-levels (c), and reductions in survival under heat-stress (d), that were all caused by 250 μM juglone. ***P < 0.001 versus juglone-treated nematodes. P-value for significance of difference of survival curve of CL2070 treated with 250 μM juglone plus 250 μM ascorbic acid and those treated with 250 μM juglone alone was P < 0.0001
