WBPhenotype:0000688
|
sterile
|
Animals generate defective gametes, are otherwise unable to reproduce or they generate progeny that are unable to reproduce. |
|
WBPhenotype:0001980
|
germ cell compartment expansion variant
|
Animals exhibit variations in the increase in size of compartments of the germline. In the C. elegans germline, syncytial compartments enlarge just prior to and coincident with the loop region, eventually abscising, to become fully enclosed germ cells (oocytes). |
|
WBPhenotype:0001944
|
oocyte number decreased
|
A decreased number of celullarized haploid female germ cells (oocytes) are present in the gonad compared to control. |
|
WBPhenotype:0001940
|
rachis morphology variant
|
Any variation in the form, structure or composition of the nucleus-free core of germ line cytoplasm in the gonad compared to control animals. In the C. elegans germline, nuclei exiting mitosis and entering meiosis are arranged along the cortex of the germline, partially enclosed by cellular membrane, forming a nucleus-free core of germline cytoplasm, called the rachis. |
|
WBPhenotype:0001969
|
germ cell compartment morphology variant
|
Any variation in the form or composition of the compartments in the germline of females/hermaphrodites compared to control animals. In C. elegans these compartments contain a nucleus and are connected to a common cytoplasm (rachis). These compartments eventually undergo cellularization and become oocytes. |
|
WBPhenotype:0001941
|
rachis narrow
|
The nucleus-free core of germline cytoplasm in the gonad is not as wide as control animals. |
