- amphid neuron dye filling defect
Animals exhibit defects in dye-filling of the neuronal cells of the amphid sensilla. In C. elegans, these neurons are commonly assayed by dye-filling with FITC, DiI or DiO.
- phasmid neuron dye filling defect
Animals exhibit defects in dye-filling of the neuronal cells of the phasmid sensilla. In C. elegans, these neurons are commonly assayed by dye-filling with FITC, DiI or DiO.
- dye filling defect
Animals exhibit variations in the extent to which one or more sensory neurons associated with sensilla (typically one or more amphids and/or phasmids) take up dye from the environment, compared to controls. In C. elegans, these neurons are commonly assayed by dye-filling with FITC, DiI or DiO.
- amphid neuron morphology variant
Animals exhibit variations in the quantity, structure or organization of the components of the neuronal cells of the amphid sensillum, from that observed in control animals. In C. elegans, these neurons are commonly assayed by dye-filling experiments using FITC, DiI or DiO.
- cephalic sensillum morphology variant
Animals exhibit variations in the quantity, structure or organization of any component of a specialized sensory organ in the head that contains a CEP receptor neuron, compared to control. In C. elegans, cells in these organs are refractory to FITC dye uptake.
- phasmid neuron morphology variant
Animals exhibit variations in the quantity, structure or organization of the components of the neuronal cells of the phasmid sensillum, from that observed in control animals. In C. elegans, these neurons are commonly assayed by dye-filling experiments using FITC, DiI or DiO.
- dauer cephalic sensillum variant
Dauer stage animals exhibit variations in the quantity, structure or organization of any component of a specialized sensory organ in the head that contains a CEP receptor neuron, compared to control. In C. elegans, cells in these organs are refractory to FITC dye uptake.
- amphid phasmid neuron morphology variant
Animals exhibit variations in the quantity, structure or organization of the components of the neuronal cells of the amphid and phasmid sensilla from that observed in control animals. In C. elegans, these neurons are commonly assayed by dye-filling experiments using FITC, DiI or DiO.
- amphid channel cilia morphology variant
Animals exhibit variations in the structure or composition of the dendritic projections of the amphid sensory neurons that traverse the sensillum pore to connect with the outside of the animal, compared to that observed in control animals. In C. elegans, amphid channel cilia morphology is frequently assayed by dye-filling experiments using FITC, DiI or DiO.
- male ray morphology variant
Animals exhibit variations in the structure or organization of any of the finger-like sensory sensilla that project from the tail and embed in the male fan compared to control animals. In C. elegans, nine bilateral rays project from the tail in a radial pattern with a smooth and slightly tapered appearance. Although one neuronal member of each ray sensillum is exposed to the outside, male rays rarely take up dye.
