|---|---|---|---|---|
| The stage that begins when a C.elegans individual is fully-developed and has reached maturity. | adult Ce | WBls:0000041 | ||
| The third stage larva. At 25 Centigrade, it ranges 32.5-40 hours after fertilization, 18.5-26 hours after hatch. | L3 larva Ce | WBls:0000035 | ||
| The second stage larva. At 25 Centigrade, it ranges 25.5-32.5 hours after fertilization, 11.5-18.5 hours after hatch. | L2 larva Ce | WBls:0000027 | ||
| The fourth stage larva. At 25 Centigrade, it ranges 40-49.5 hours after fertilization, 26-35.5 hours after hatch. | L4 larva Ce | WBls:0000038 | ||
| The first stage larva. At 25 Centigrade, it ranges 14-25.5 hours after fertilization, 0-11.5 hours after hatch. | L1 larva Ce | WBls:0000024 | ||
| The C. elegans life stage spanning 620-800min(hatch) after first cleavage at 20 Centigrade. Cell number remains at ~560 cells, with some new cells generated and some cells go through programmed cell death. A stage after elongation is over. The last stage of embryogenesis. Also called pre-hatched embryo, late embryo or morphogenetic embryo. | fully-elongated embryo Ce | WBls:0000021 | ||
| The C. elegans life stage spanning 350-620min after first cleavage at 20 Centigrade. Cell number remains at ~560 cells, with some new cells generated and some cells go through programmed cell death. The stage that embryo starts elongation until elongation is over. | elongating embryo Ce | WBls:0000015 | ||
| The C. elegans life stage spanning 290-350min after first cleavage at 20 Centigrade. Proliferate from 421 cells to 560 cells. The stage when embryo just finished gastrulation and is enclosing. | enclosing embryo Ce | WBls:0000013 | ||
| The C. elegans life stage spanning 100-290min after first cleavage at 20 Centigrade. Proliferate from 28 cells to 421 cells. Referring to the whole period of gastrulation. | gastrulating embryo Ce | WBls:0000010 |
