- L2 lethal
L2 lethal: Animals die at the L2 stage of the life cycle.
- late larval lethal
Animals die during late larval development. In C. elegans, this occurs during the L3- L4 larval stages of the life cycle.
- L4 lethal
Animals die at the L4 stage of the life cycle.
- mid larval lethal
Animals die in between the early and late larval stages. In C. elegans, this occurs during the L2- L3 larval stages of the life cycle.
- early larval lethal
Animals die during early larval development. In C.elegans, this occurs during the L1- L2 larval stages of the life cycle.
- L1 lethal
Animals die at the L1 stage of the life cycle.
- L3 lethal
Animals die at the L3 stage of the life cycle.
- larval lethal
The animal dies at any time between hatching and onset to adulthood.
- rod like larval lethal
Animals die as rigid, rod-like larva. In C. elegans this defect is often caused by the misspecification of the excretory duct cell.
