MQ141 dpy-17(e164)/clk-1(e2519) clk-2(qm37) III. C. elegans Hets are WT and segregate WT, Dpys and maternally rescued clk double mutants (WT). To study clk double mutants, pick WT worms singly onto plates. Maternally rescued clk-1 clk-2 worms segregate very slow hatching and developing progeny and no Dpys. Double mutants do not give a viable strain but rather die out over a few generations.

MQ149 mau-6(qm50) V. C. elegans Maternal effect uncoordinated. Progressive paralysis leading to full paralysis and rapid death after the 4th larval moult. Some embryonic and larval lethality.
MQ1766 sod-2(ok1030) I; sod-5 (tm1146) sod-1(tm783) II; sod-4(gk101) III; sod-3(tm760) X. C. elegans Normal lifespan. Increased sensitivity to oxidative stress, osmotic stress, cold stress, and heat stress. Slow development, slow physiological rates (thrashing, defecation), and reduced fertility. van Raamsdonk J & Hekimi S. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2012 Apr 10;109(15):5785-90.

MQ200 mud-1(qm21) III. C. elegans Maternal effect Uncoordinated and Dumpy. High degree of embryonic and larval lethality. Dpy phenotype only partially resuced. Hatchlings are of variable length, with poor movement. Adults are short and show kinky uncoordination.
MQ210 mau-4(qm45) X. C. elegans Maternal effect uncoordinated. Stiff posterior body. Severly Unc when attempting to move backwards. Partially wasted posterior body. Some embryonic and larval lethality.
MQ223 clk-3(qm38) II; gro-1(e2400)/dpy-17(e164) III. C. elegans Develops slowly (at the clk-3(qm38) rate). Segregates 1/4 Dpy. gro-1(e2400) is maternally rescued. clk-3; gro-1 doubles throw no Dpy and their progeny develop very slowly. To maintain strain pick WT worms singly onto plates and score progeny.
MQ224 clk-3(qm38) II; clk-1(qm30)/dpy-17(e164) III. C. elegans Develops slowly (clk-3(qm38) rate). clk-1(qm30) is maternally rescued. Segregates 1/4 Dpy progeny. To study clk-3; clk-1 doubles place WT worms singly onto plates-the clk doubles will throw no Dpys and their progeny develop extremely slowly (about 3 days to hatch and 10 days for postembryonic development)-they will be sterile when they finally become adults.
MQ225 clk-3(qm38) II; clk-2(qm37) III. C. elegans Maternally rescued slow growth. Post-embryonic development takes approximately 1.5 days longer then WT at 20C ( clk-2(qm37) is a ts embryonic lethal). Maintain at or below 20C.
MQ228 mad-2(qm62) I. C. elegans Maternal effect dumpy. Adults are short but larvae are not. Animals are lethargic but display hyperactive foraging movement and very rapid pumping when stimulated by light touch. Hermaphrodite and male tails are abnormal. Very slow development. High degree of embryonic and larval lethality.
MQ251 mau-1(e2507) V. C. elegans Maternal effect uncoordinated.

MQ466 pigv-1(qm34) I. C. elegans Maternally rescued variable abnormal. Some embryonic lethality and a very high level of larval lethality. Head frequently deformed because the buccal cavity does not open at the tip of the head but ventrally, dorsally or laterally.

Maternally rescued gro-1 clk-2 worms segregate very slow hatching and developing progeny and no Dpys. Double mutants do not give a viable strain but rather die out after a few generations.
