e286ts : at 25x limp paralysed Egl : muscle ultrastructure defective few thick filaments; males move better; at 20x slow at 15x wildtype. ES3 (adult 25x) ME0. NA > 5 (m94ts r450ts : all alleles are temperature sensitive but some have stronger 20x phenotype than e286). Null phenotype probably lethal.
[C.elegansII] e286ts : at 25C limp paralysed Egl; muscle ultrastructure defective, few thick filaments; males move better; at 20C slow, at 15C wildtype. ES3 (adult 25C) ME0. OA>5: m94ts, r450ts, su2002 (some ts alleles have stronger 20C phenotype than e286). Also lethal Pat alleles: st601, st603,(limited development beyond two-fold,no pharyngeal pumping, failure to assemble thick filaments), st604 (weaker allele, some maternal rescue), wc2, wc4, wc5.
