posterior reversed vulval lineage

The orientation of the progeny of P7.p mimic those of P5.p and face towards the posterior of the worm, a phenotype referred to as posterior-reversed vulval lineage (P-Rvl).

vulval cell lineage variant

The descendants of a vulval precursor cell exhibit altered developmental programs compared to their counterparts in control animals. In C. elegans, the VPCs are P3.p-P8.p.

P granule number abnormal

Animals exhibit germ cells with a number of P granules that differs from control animals.

P granule number reduced

Animals exhibit germ cells with a reduced number of P granules compared to control animals.

P granule abnormal

Localization or structural appearance of P-granules is altered compared to control. P-granules are cytoplasmic structures associated with germ nuclei in the C. elegans gonad, and are localized exclusively to germ cells, or germ cell precursors, throughout the life cycle.

protrusion at vulval region

Large protrusion at the normal position of the vulva, as seen in C. elegans lin-12 null animals.

P cell misalignment at ventral midline

Ventral midline blastomeres (P cells) are misaligned (not properly paired) along the ventral midline of larval animals.

P granule degradation defective

The selective elimination of P granule components and subsequent aggregation of degraded components into PGL granules is disrupted.

P cell cleavage delayed

Any variation that causes a delay in the stereotypical cleavage pattern of the P cell compared to control.

P granule localization defective

The restricted localization of P granules to germ cells or germ cell precursors is altered compared to control.
