WormMine: Phenotype WBPhenotype:0001556 dauer sensillum variant

Identifier	Name	Description
WBPhenotype:0001558	dauer amphid sensillum variant	Dauer stage animals exhibit variations in the quantity, structure or organization of any component of any specialized chemosensory organs located on the head, compared to that observed in control animals.
WBPhenotype:0001557	dauer labial sensillum variant	Dauer stage animals exhibit variations in the quantity, structure or organization of the sensilla of the mouth compared to control. In C. elegans, these sensillum are arranged in two (inner and outer) concentric rings around the mouth.
WBPhenotype:0001563	dauer cephalic sensillum variant	Dauer stage animals exhibit variations in the quantity, structure or organization of any component of a specialized sensory organ in the head that contains a CEP receptor neuron, compared to control. In C. elegans, cells in these organs are refractory to FITC dye uptake.
WBPhenotype:0001559	dauer deirid sensillum variant	Dauer stage animals exhibit variations in the quantity, structure or organization of the components of the sensilla situated laterally in the anterior (ADE) or the posterior (PDE) of the animal compared to control. In C. elegans, each of the 4 deirid sensilla (2ADE, 2 PDE) contains a pair of neurons with ciliated dendritic processes that lie in a channel formed by a socket cell and invaginated sheath cell. The cilia of the deirids terminate in the subcuticle and are not exposed to the outside; however occasionally take up FITC.

Identifier	Name	Description
WBPhenotype:0000299	sensillum morphology variant	Animals exhibit variations in the quantity, structure or organization of the components of the sense organs comprised of ciliated sensory nerve endings enveloped by sheath and/or socket cells, from that observed in control animals.
WBPhenotype:0001555	dauer sensory system morphology variant	Any variations in the form, structure or composition of a set of interacting or interdependent entities forming the dauer sensory system, compared to control. The dauer sensory system is used to perceive the physical and chemical environment during the dauer larval stage.
