Most defects are similar to bar-1(ga80) single mutant animals [bar-1(ga80) hermaphrodites are usually Egl and often have a protruding vulva (Pvl), although approx. 40% of animals appear WT on plates. Also slightly Unc. In bar-1(ga80) hermaphrodites any of the six vulval precursor cells (P3.p - P8.p) can sometimes fuse with hyp7 without dividing, and P5.p - P7.p can adopt the tertiary cell fate instead of the primary or secondary fates. In addition, the neuroblast QL and its progeny migrate towards the anterior instead of the posterior, and the cell P12 usually adopts the fate of P11. bar-1(ga80) do mate, but poorly. bar-1 encodes a beta-catenin molecule and the ga80 mutation is predicted to cause an early truncation of the protein.] Increased severity of ray 1 displacement.

Hermaphrodites seem fine. Males have a high penetrance of anterior displacement of ray 1.

Dies at 15-20C with mostly dead embyros and a few dead larvae. Grows best at 24C. Survives at 25C, but worms look sick (often small and clear) and have very reduced brood sizes.
