- L3 lethal
Animals die at the L3 stage of the life cycle.
- L3 arrest
The developmental program of the animals does not continue past the third larval stage (L3).
- late larval arrest
Larvae arrest during late larval development. In C. elegans, larval arrest occurs during the L3 or L4 stages of larval development.
- late larval lethal
Animals die during late larval development. In C. elegans, this occurs during the L3- L4 larval stages of the life cycle.
- L3 L4 molt defect
Animals exhibit defects in the process of shedding, part or all of its cuticle, during cuticle replacement that punctuates L3 to L4 transition.
- L2 L3 molt defect
Animals exhibit defects in the process of shedding, part or all of its cuticle, during cuticle replacement that punctuates L2 to L3 transition.
- 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.
- mid larval arrest
Animals arrest during the stage between early and late larval development. In C. elegans, mid larval arrest occurs during the L2 to L3 stages of development.
- clear larva
Larva appear unusually transparent when compared to control.
- pale larva
Larva show deficiencies in chroma resulting in increased translucency.
