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:0000707
|
pharyngeal development variant
|
Variations in the progression of the pharynx (feeding organ) over time, from its formation to the mature structure compared to control. In C. elegans the pharynx is divided into the anterior and posterior regions. The anterior region includes the corpus (procorpus and metacorpus - first bulb) and the posterior region includes the isthmus and terminal bulb (second bulb). |
WBPhenotype:0001478
|
body elongation variant
|
Any variation in the elongation of embryonic epidermal cells compared to control. In C. elegans, this elongation occurs along an anterior-posterior axis, which is required to transform the bean-shaped embryo into the elongated shape of the worm. |
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). |
WBPhenotype:0000902
|
intestinal cell morphology variant
|
Any variation in the morphological appearance of intestinal cells compared to control animals. |
