Strain Genotype Species Description
VM1123 dpy-19(n1347) glr-2(ak10) III. C. elegans Temperature sensitive Dpy. Nose touch defective (Not). Osmotic avoidance defective (Osm). Required for rapid glutamate-gated currents in the AVA interneurons. Null Allele.
VM123 lin-15B&lin-15A(n765) X; akEx29. C. elegans akEx29 [glr-8::GFP + lin-15(+)]. Maintain by picking non-Muv. Worms with the array are non-Muv at 20C.
VM133 lin-15B&lin-15A(n765) X; akEx31. C. elegans akEx31 [glr-5::GFP + lin-15(+)]. Maintain by picking non-Muv. Worms with the array are non-Muv at 20C.
VM141 lin-15B&lin-15A(n765) X; akEx32. C. elegans akEx32 [glr-4::GFP + lin-15(+)]. Maintain by picking non-Muv. Worms with the array are non-Muv at 20C.
VM143 lin-15B&lin-15A(n765) X; akEx34. C. elegans akEx34 [glr-6::GFP + lin-15(+)]. Maintain by picking non-Muv. Worms with the array are non-Muv at 20C.
VM149 lin-15B&lin-15A(n765) X; akEx38. C. elegans akEx38 [(pDM46) glr-7::GFP + (pJM23) lin-15(+)]. Worms with the array are non-Muv at 20C.
VM182 lin-15B&lin-15A(n765) X; akEx51. C. elegans akEx51 [glr-2::GFP + lin-15(+)]. Maintain by picking non-Muv. Worms with the array are non-Muv at 20C.
VM314 lin-15B&lin-15A(n765) X; akEx74. C. elegans akEx74 [nmr-2::GFP + lin-15(+)]. Maintain by picking non-Muv. Worms with the array are non-Muv at 20C.
VM3896 cam-1(ak37) C. elegans Nicotine-gated current reduced in body wall muscle cells. Disrupted localization of ACR-16 in body wall muscle cells.
VM396 ocr-2(ak47) IV. C. elegans Chemosensory, mechanosensory, and osmosensory defects. Null allele.
VM4721 sol-1(ak63) C. elegans Nose touch defective. Slowed response to hyperosmotic solutions. Glutamate-gated current mediated by non-NMDA type receptors decreased in the AVA and AVD interneurons.
VM484 akIs3 V. C. elegans akIs3 [nmr-1::GFP + lin-15(+)] V.
VM487 nmr-1(ak4) II. C. elegans Fewer spontaneous reversals. Required for NMDA gated currents.
VM57 lin-15B&lin-15A(n765) X; akEx16. C. elegans akEx16 [glr-3::GFP + lin-15(+)]. Maintain by picking non-Muv. Worms with the array are non-Muv at 20C.
VM763 lin-15B&lin-15A(n765) X; akEx130. C. elegans akEx130 [(pPB45) glr-1::GFP + (pJM23) lin-15(+)]. Worms with the array are non-Muv at 20C.
