Animals exhibit variations in the burst pharyngeal pumping response to light, during which the pharyngeal pumping rate slightly increases during the5-10 seconds after light exposure onset, compared to controls.
Animals exhibit variations in the recovery pharyngeal pumping response to light, during which the pharyngeal pumping rate slowly increases during the 0-10 seconds afterremoval of light exposure, compared to controls.
Animals exhibit an enhanced burst pharyngeal pumping response to light, such that during the5-10 seconds after light exposure onset the pharyngeal pumping rate increases to a greater extent than in controls.
Animals exhibit a reduced burst pharyngeal pumping response to light, such that during the5-10 seconds after light exposure onset the pharyngeal pumping rate increases to a lesser extent than in controls.
Animals exhibit a reduced recovery pharyngeal pumping response to light, such that during the 0-10 seconds after removal of light exposure the pharyngeal pumping rate increasesto a lesser extent than in controls.
Animals die during embryonic development. In C. elegans, often assayed as refractile eggs that fail to hatch; when applied to large-scale RNAi screens in C. elegans, more than 10% of embryos die.
Animals exhibit an enhanced recovery pharyngeal pumping response to light, such that during the 0-10 seconds after removal of light exposure the pharyngeal pumping rate increases to a greater extent than in controls.
Premature lethality during the adult stage. When applied to large-scale RNAi screens in C. elegans, this phenotype is present in at least 10% of analyzed worms, or at least 30% in the case of rrf-3 perturbed background.
Animals respond to iononizing radiation at a lower dose or a shorter exposure compared to control animals. Iononizing radiation has a wavelength in the 10 to 0.01 nanometer range. In C. elegans, increased sensitivity to X-ray irradiation is often observed as a decrease in survival upon exposure compared to control animals given the same treatment.
