rays fused

Any of the finger-like sensory sensilla that project from the tail and embed in the male fan are joined to one another.

ray ectopic

Animals have finger-like sensory sensilla (rays) that are present in places they are normally not found, when compared to the location in control animals.

rays displaced

Any of the finger-like sensory sensilla that project from the tail and embed in the male fan are shifted from their customary place.

extra rays

Animals exhibit an extra number of the finger-like sensory sensilla that project from the tail and embed in the male fan.

rays missing

Any of the finger-like sensory sensilla that project from the tail and embed in the male fan are absent.

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.

ray tips swollen

The extreme ends of any of the finger-like sensory sensilla that project from the tail and embed in the male fan appear bloated or distended.

obsolete ray loss

OBSOLETE.

obsolete ray fusion

OBSOLETE.

cell gamma ray response variant

Cells exhibit variations in their response to gamma ray radiation compared to that observed in control animals.
