Morphological Characterization of small, dumpy, and long Phenotypes in Caenorhabditis elegans.

Abstract excerpt

The determinant factors of an organism's size during animal development have been explored from various angles but remain partially understood. In Caenorhabditis elegans, many genes affecting cuticle structure, cell growth, and proliferation have been identified to regulate the worm's overall morphology, including body size. While various mutations in those genes directly result in changes in the morphological...
