- wing cilia bulbous
Animals exhibit wing cell sensory cilia that are truncated and swollen unlike that observed in control animals.
- wing cilia axoneme short
The microtuble-based fibrillar-bundle, axoneme, of the wing cell cilia are reduced in length and do not extend into the sheath cell as far as they do in control animals.
- AWB morphology variant
Animals exhibit variations in the structure or organization of either of a set of two ciliated wing neurons, AWBL or AWBR, of the amphid sensilla, compared to that observed in control animals.
- cilia morphology variant
Animals exhibit variations in the structure or organization of the microtubule-based dendritic projections extending from the cell body, compared to that observed in control animals. In C. elegans, cilia are classified as channel cilia or wing cilia depending on their placement within the sensillum. Channel cilia of control animals are cylindrical, extend into the sensillum pore and are exposed to the outside. Wing cilia of control animals vary in shape, are embedded in the sensillum sheath cell and are not typically refractory to dyes indicating exposure to the outside.
- amphid sheath cell morphology variant
Animals exhibit variations in the structure or composition of the amphid sensillum cell that ensheathes the dendrite tips of channel neurons and wing cell dedritic processes, from that observed in control animals. Sheath cells in C.elegans have highly invaginated and vesiculated surfaces, which provide a specialized environment for the dendritic structures.
- wing cilia morphology variant
Animals exhibit variations in the structure or organization of the microtuble-based projections that in control animals invaginate individually into the sheath cell of the neuronal sensillum rather than projecting through the socket cell to the outside. In C. elegans, the cilia of each wing cell has its own unique shape and as they are not exposed to the outside, they do not typically take up dyes.
