In a ced-3 n2427 or ced-3 n2427 and cps-3 n4872 mutant background, no extra pharyngeal cells caused by impaired apoptosis are produced. In a csp-3 n4872, csp-1 n4967 and ced-3 n3692 mutant background, pharyngeal cells, that are normally fated to die, survive and 16 percent of animals have still 1 or more cell corpses that are morphologically apoptotic and are internalized by engulfing cells. In addition, apoptosis of the male linker cell occurs normally. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23505386}. |
