- constitutive larval display
Animals display surface antigens throughout all larval stages, unlike Bristol N2 worms, which display the antigens only during one larval stage.
- 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.
- larval growth slow
Any variation that causes a reduction in growth rate during larval stages compared to control.
- gut granule biogenesis reduced
Animals lack birefringent containing compartments in embryonic intestinal cells; however, these compartments appear in adult stages.
- early larval lethal
Animals die during early larval development. In C.elegans, this occurs during the L1- L2 larval stages of the life cycle.
- early larval arrest
Larvae arrest during early larval development. In C. elegans, this occurs during the L1 or L2 stages of larval development.
- late larval arrest
Larvae arrest during late larval development. In C. elegans, larval arrest occurs during the L3 or L4 stages of larval development.
