WBPhenotype:0000643
|
locomotion variant
|
Animals exhibit deviations in self-propelled movement on a solid medium compared to control animals. |
WBPhenotype:0000006
|
egg laying defective
|
Eggs are not laid, laid at a slower rate or eggs are laid at a later stage of development compared to control. |
WBPhenotype:0000070
|
male tail morphology variant
|
Animals exhibit variations in the structure or organization of the somatic reproductive components of the posterior segment of the male from that observed in control males. In C. elegans, this region of the male includes the terminal canals of the reproductive tract, the digestive tract, and spicule channels along with the male specific sensilla (ray, post-cloacal, hook and spicule) and extends to the tip of the acellular fan. |
WBPhenotype:0000315
|
mechanosensation variant
|
Any variation with respect to perception or response to mechanical stimuli compared to control animals. |
WBPhenotype:0000112
|
protein expression variant
|
Variations in the biogenesis and stability of protein molecules compared to control. |
WBPhenotype:0000679
|
transgene subcellular localization variant
|
Any variation in the subcellular localization of a gene product produced by DNA coded for by exogenous genetic material that has been introduced into the organism compared to its expression in control animals. |
WBPhenotype:0000249
|
osmotic avoidance defective
|
Failure to execute the characteristic avoidance response to solutions of high osmotic strength as defined by control animals. |
WBPhenotype:0001221
|
nose touch defective
|
Animal fails to exhibit characteristic response after a nose-on collision with an object compared to control. In C. elegans, this is usually assayed with a hair or similar fiber. The nose is the anterior most tip of the animal. |
WBPhenotype:0000843
|
male mating efficiency reduced
|
The number of cross progeny sired by males is reduced compared to control. |
WBPhenotype:0000279
|
spicule insertion defective
|
Males exhibit defects in the insertion of the male copulatory spicules into the mating partner. In C. elegan spicule insertion behavior initiates when the male cloaca contacts the vulva. During most mating encounters, the spicule tips will prod the vulva continuously until they partially penetrate, which then causes the protractors to contract completely so that the spicules extend through the vulva. |
WBPhenotype:0000615
|
cilia morphology variant
|
Animals exhibit variations in the structure or organization of the microtubule-based dendritic projections extending from the cell body, compared to that observed in control animals. In C. elegans, cilia are classified as channel cilia or wing cilia depending on their placement within the sensillum. Channel cilia of control animals are cylindrical, extend into the sensillum pore and are exposed to the outside. Wing cilia of control animals vary in shape, are embedded in the sensillum sheath cell and are not typically refractory to dyes indicating exposure to the outside. |
WBPhenotype:0000284
|
sperm transfer defective
|
Any defect in the process whereby a male inseminates his partner by introducing sperm into the genital tract. |
