WBPhenotype:0000342
|
bursa morphology variant
|
Any variation in the form, structure or composition of the adult male tail including the lateral fan and rays compared to control. |
|
WBPhenotype:0001364
|
male fan morphology variant
|
Any variation in the form, structure or composition of the flattened structure extending laterally at the extreme tip of the adult male consisting of nine pairs of sensory rays that lie within a web-like cuticle compared to control. |
|
WBPhenotype:0001431
|
pointed tail tip male
|
Male tails fail to undergo tip retraction thereby forming a 'leptoderan' or 'pointed' adult tail. |
|
WBPhenotype:0001305
|
hook morphology variant
|
Any variation in the form or composition of the structure that lies on the ventral surface just anterior and central to the base of the spicule openings (small lump on the gubernaculum of the male tail) and contains a sensory structure called the hook sensillum, compared to control. In C. elegans the hook is necessary for proper male mating. |
|
WBPhenotype:0001432
|
over retracted male tail
|
Adult males exhibit a truncated tail, often without a fan or have well-developed fans but squarish, truncated back ends compared to control. In C. elegans this is due to precocious male tail tip retraction beginning in the early L3 stage (normally retraction begins in the L4 stage). Condition can be lethal if the function of the anus is affected. |
|
WBPhenotype:0001359
|
proctodeum morphology variant
|
Animals exhibit variations in the structure and organization of the chamber in the male tail that extends from the termination of four canals (vas deferens, gut, and left and right spicule channels) to just before the cloaca, from that observed in control animals. |
