WBPhenotype:0000688
|
sterile
|
Animals generate defective gametes, are otherwise unable to reproduce or they generate progeny that are unable to reproduce. |
WBPhenotype:0000183
|
apoptosis increased
|
Any perturbation that causes an elevation in the frequency of cell death by apoptosis compared to control animals. |
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: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:0001971
|
germ cell compartment anucleate
|
Germ cell compartments do not contain a nucleus. |
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:0001977
|
germ cell partition morphology variant
|
Any variation in the form or composition of the compartment partitions in the germline of females/hermaphrodites that exist when nuclei are still connected to a common cytoplasm (rachis), compared to control animals. |
WBPhenotype:0001956
|
oocytes lack nucleus
|
Haploid female germ cells (oocytes) lack a nucleus. |
