sodium acetate chemotaxis variant
Any variation in the directed movement of a worm in response to a specific concentration gradient of sodium acetate. In C. elegans, at specific concentrations, sodium acetate is an attractant. Sodium acetate has also been used to assay for Na+ attraction.
excretory canal short
The structure made by the processes of the excretory canal cell is reduced in size compared to control. In C. elegans this is an H-shaped structure which extends almost the full length of the body on both sides of the animal, generally in contact with the lateral hypodermis and the pseudocoelom (Wormatlas).
excretory canals long
The structure made by the processes of the excretory canal cell is increased in size compared to control. In C. elegans this is an H-shaped structure which extends almost the full length of the body on both sides of the animal, generally in contact with the lateral hypodermis and the pseudocoelom (Wormatlas).
