WBPhenotype:0000050
|
embryonic lethal
|
Animals die during embryonic development. In C. elegans, often assayed as refractile eggs that fail to hatch; when applied to large-scale RNAi screens in C. elegans, more than 10% of embryos die. |
WBPhenotype:0000059
|
larval arrest
|
The developmental program of the animals halts at any larval stage and thus fails to reach adulthood. In C.elegans, this occurs anytime during L1-L4 stage. |
WBPhenotype:0000085
|
swollen intestinal lumen
|
The intestinal lumen is expanded and can often be shown to be filled with bacteria. This swelling is distinct from distension of the entire intestine (intestinal edema). |
WBPhenotype:0000703
|
epithelial morphology variant
|
Variations in the form, composition or structure of the layer of cells that cover the external surface of an organism and form the inner lining between the tissues and organs of that organism and the external environment compared to control. In C. elegans epithelial cells include epithelium of the alimentary tract, intestinal cells, hypodermis, interfacial cells and somatic gonad cells (Wormatlas). |
