- lipid synthesis defective
The de novo synthesis of any lipid species is reduced compared to that observed in control animals.
- M lineage variant
The descendants of the M precursor cell exhibit variations in developmental programs compared to their counterparts in control animals. In C. elegans the M lineage is a postembryonic mesodermal lineage.
- cell cycle arrest
Cells of the animals cease during one of its replicative phases (G1, S, G2, M).
- early exit cell cycle
Cells leave the M phase (mitosis and cytokinesis) at an earlier time than sister or other control cells.
- male M lineage variant
The descendants of the M precursor cell in male animals, exhibit any variation in developmental programs compared to their counterparts in control animals.
- G2 checkpoint variant
Mitotic cells exhibit variations during the passage through a cell cycle control point late in the G2 phase of the mitotic cell cycle just before entry into M phase, nuclear division, compared to control cells.
- hermaphrodite sex muscle morphology variant
Any variation in the form, structure or composition of the muscles of the adult hermaphrodite reproductive system compared to control. In C. elegans hermaphrodites these muscles include the vulval and uterine muscles, located near the vulva in the midbody, which all derive from the M myoblast (Wormatlas).
- male sex muscle morphology variant
Any variation in the form, structure or composition of the muscles of the adult male reproductive system compared to control. In C. elegans males, the M myoblast gives rise to a much larger set of specialized muscles, compared to hermaphrodites, which differentiate within the tail region (Wormatlas).
