WBPhenotype:0000688
|
sterile
|
Animals generate defective gametes, are otherwise unable to reproduce or they generate progeny that are unable to reproduce. |
|
WBPhenotype:0001260
|
oocyte morphology variant
|
Haploid female germ cells (oocytes) exhibit variations in their overall structure, appearance or contents compared to control. |
|
WBPhenotype:0000730
|
apoptosis variant
|
Animals exhibit variations in any processes that influence the programmed cell death pathway. Induction of the apoptotic pathway triggers the activity of proteolytic caspases, which in turn lead to the destruction of the cell. |
|
WBPhenotype:0001951
|
pachytene region organization variant
|
Animals exhibit variations from control animals in the organization of the germ cell nuclei in the pachytene stage region of the gonad. In C. elegans the pachytene region begins just proximal to the germline's transition zone, where germ cells coordinately switch into the leptotene/zygotene stage from the premeiosis stage (WormAtlas). |
|
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:0001180
|
accumulated germline cell corpses
|
Animals exhibit an increase in the quantity of germ line cells that have undergone programmed cell death but have not been engulfed. |
|
WBPhenotype:0001952
|
germline nuclear positioning variant
|
Variations in the directed movement/or positioning of a nucleus to a specific location within the germline compartment compared to control. |
|
WBPhenotype:0001028
|
nuclear appearance variant
|
The morphological appearance of nuclei differs from control animals. |
|
WBPhenotype:0001792
|
nuclei small
|
Nuclei of specific cells are smaller compared to control animals. |
|
WBPhenotype:0001982
|
cell membrane organization biogenesis variant
|
Variations in the process(es) involved in the assembly, transport, arrangement or disassembly of cell membrane structures or components compared to control. |
|
WBPhenotype:0001945
|
oocytes small
|
The size of haploid female germ cells (oocytes) are significantly smaller compared to control. |
|
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:0001950
|
diplotene region organization variant
|
Animals exhibit variations from control animals in the organization of the germ cell nuclei in the gonad that are in the diplotene stage. In C. elegans the diplotene region follows the pachytene region and occurs just distal to, and coincident with, the loop in the gonad arm. In the diplotene region germ cell compartments become organized into a single file. |
|
WBPhenotype:0001941
|
rachis narrow
|
The nucleus-free core of germline cytoplasm in the gonad is not as wide as control animals. |
