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:0000452
|
tail protrusions
|
Any irregular swelling in discrete regions of the tail, usually caused by a local defect in the normal smooth tapering of the hypodermis and/or cuticle (Wormatlas). |
WBPhenotype:0000230
|
tail withered
|
The girth of the region posterior to the vulva is reduced compared to that anterior to the vulva (the Wit phenotype). In C. elegans this phenotype is associated with anteriorward misplacement of the CAN neurons. |
WBPhenotype:0001413
|
bacterially unswollen
|
Animals do not exhibit tail-swelling in response to infection by a bacterial pathogen (such as Microbacterium nematophilum) compared to control. |
WBPhenotype:0000338
|
tail swelling
|
Swelling in the post anal region compared to control. In C. elegans this swelling can be associated with infection from the nematode-specific bacterial pathogen, Microbacterium nematophilum. |
WBPhenotype:0000968
|
tail spike variant
|
Any variation in the structure or appearance of the thin cuticle specialization found at the extreme posterior end of the tail compared to control. |
WBPhenotype:0001596
|
tail bobbed
|
Swelling of the tail hypodermis resulting in a prematurely-truncated and thickened appearance of the tail. In C. elegans, this is usually applies to hermaphrodites. |
WBPhenotype:0000441
|
tail rounded
|
Tails change shape and undergo retraction thereby forming a 'peloderan' or 'rounded' adult tail. |
