WBPhenotype:0000219
|
vulval cell induction reduced
|
Vulval precursor cells receive a decrease in inductive signal leading to fewer VPCs adopting vulval fates compared to control animals. |
WBPhenotype:0000218
|
vulval cell induction increased
|
An excess number of vulval precursor cells receive an inductive signal leading to an increased number of VPCs adopting vulval fates compared to control animals. |
WBPhenotype:0001680
|
adoption of fused vulval cell fate
|
Vulval precursor cells forgo further cell division and fuse to the hypodermis instead of adopting their intended fate (becoming primary, secondary or tertiary vulval cells). |
WBPhenotype:0002027
|
gonad independent vulva differentiation
|
VPCs differentiate in the absence of inductive signals coming from the gonad. |
