- male sterile
X0 animals fail to generate viable cross-progeny.
- excess intestinal cells
Animals contain an excess number of intestinal cells compared to control. In C. elegans, intestinal cells are derived from E-blastomere. The overproduction of intestinal tissues is a result of other blastomeres adopting an E-like fate or excess cell proliferation in the E lineage.
- E lineage variant
The descendants of the E blastomere exhibit altered developmental programs compared to their counterparts in control animals.
- no Intestine
Embryos fail to generate cells that exhibit intestinal specification. In C. elegans, the E blastomere is the precursor of all the intestinal cells.
- long range axon migration variant
Animals exhibit axons with migration behaviors that differ from those observed in control animals after the axons cross a half-way point between opposing neural cords. In C. elegans this point is marked by the lateral seam cells between the ventral and dorsal cords.
