Phenotype: retinal rod cell degenerate, ameliorated
Note: This statement combines anatomy and/or ontology terms with phenotype quality terms to create a complete phenotype (EQ) statement. For detailed information on individual terms, click the hyperlinked term name.
Name: retinal rod cell
Synonyms: retinal rod cells
Definition: One of the two photoreceptor cell types of the vertebrate retina. In rods the photopigment is in stacks of membranous disks separate from the outer cell membrane. Rods are more sensitive to light than cones, but rod mediated vision has less spatial and temporal resolution than cone vision.
Ontology: Anatomy Ontology [ZFA:0009275]
Name: degenerate
Synonyms: degeneration
Definition: A structural quality inhering in a bearer whose structure deteriorates or is lost over time due to an active pathological process.
Ontology: Phenotypic Quality Ontology [PATO:0000639]
Tag: ameliorated
Definition: This annotation denotes a significantly rescued phenotype resulting from an additional reagent or mutation.
