- outer labial morphology variant
Animals exhibit variations in the quantity, structure or organization of the components of the outer labial ring compared to control. In C. elegans, this ring consists of four sensilla (OLQ) or the two additional lateral sensilla (OLL), which are part of the labial sensillum.
- rays missing
Any of the finger-like sensory sensilla that project from the tail and embed in the male fan are absent.
- dauer outer labial sensillum variant
Dauer stage animals exhibit variations in the quantity, structure or organization of the components of the outer labial ring compared to control. In C. elegans, this ring consists of four sensilla (OLQ) or the two additional lateral sensilla (OLL), which are part of the labial sensillum.
- 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 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.
- 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 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.
- 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.
