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:0000313
|
meiotic progression during oogenesis variant
|
Developing oocytes show defects in their initial entry or progression through the meiotic pathway (such as failure to exit diakinesis). |
WBPhenotype:0001668
|
oocyte accumulation
|
An increased number of oocytes are retained in the gonad without becoming endomitotic, compared to control. |
WBPhenotype:0000183
|
apoptosis increased
|
Any perturbation that causes an elevation in the frequency of cell death by apoptosis compared to control animals. |
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: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:0001361
|
chromosome condensation variant
|
Any variation in the progressive compaction of dispersed interphase chromatin into threadlike chromosomes prior to mitotic or meiotic nuclear division, or during apoptosis, in eukaryotic cells compared to control. |
WBPhenotype:0001945
|
oocytes small
|
The size of haploid female germ cells (oocytes) are significantly smaller 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:0001973
|
germ cell compartment size variant
|
Any variation in germ cell compartment size compared to control. |
WBPhenotype:0001971
|
germ cell compartment anucleate
|
Germ cell compartments do not contain a nucleus. |
WBPhenotype:0001974
|
germ cell compartment small
|
Germ cell compartments are smaller than that of control animals. |
WBPhenotype:0001979
|
gonad vesiculated
|
Animals contain small, fluid-filled, anucleate, spherical membrane-bound structures within the gonad. |
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:0001954
|
diplotene absent during oogenesis
|
The diplotene stage is not observed in developing oocytes. Diplotene is a cell cycle process comprising the steps by which a cell progresses through the fourth stage of prophase I in meiosis, in which the homologous chromosomes begin to separate and the synaptonemal complex dissolves. |
WBPhenotype:0001955
|
multiple nuclei oocyte
|
Haploid female germ cells (oocytes) contain more than one nucleus. |
WBPhenotype:0001956
|
oocytes lack nucleus
|
Haploid female germ cells (oocytes) lack a nucleus. |
