germ cell death response to 5 FU resistant
Germ cell death fails in response to the concentration of 5-FU that elicits a response in control animals. Alternatively, animals require increased concentration or longer exposure to this compound to elicit the response compared to control animals. In C. elegans, in addition to cell death, 5-FU exposed animals exhibit condensed germ cell nuclei or unhealthy nuclei.
Fluorouracil resistant
Animals fail to respond to the concentration of Fluorouracil (5-FU) that elicits a response in control animals. Alternatively, animals require increased concentration or longer exposure to this compound to elicit the response compared to control animals. In C. Elegans Fluorouracil induces germ cell death, inhibits embryogenesis and inhibits larval growth (depending on dose) in control animals.
