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:0000031
|
slow growth
|
Any variation that causes a reduction in growth rate compared to control. |
WBPhenotype:0001020
|
embryonic lethal late emb
|
Animals die during the final stages of embryogenesis. In C. elegans, this lethality refers to death during the last (3-fold) stage of embryogenesis, which normally occurs 620-800 min after the first cleavage at 20C, the stage after elongation. |
WBPhenotype:0000689
|
maternal sterile
|
Animals produce no or very few embryos as a result of experimental treatment. This is in contrast to sterility due to genetic perturbations (maternal effect sterility). |
