Also note that this term is classified as a type of abnormal cell shape, because under a given set of conditions wild-type cells are never seen with the proportions (length:diameter ratio) observed in elongated cells. Small cells, in contrast, have the same proportions as a subset of wild-type cells, and simply do not grow to the full length seen in wild type. This term can be used for any circumstances in which cells are starved for nitrogen. Note that cells may enter G0 (quiescence) when subjected to prolonged nitrogen starvation; this term is not restricted to G0. A cell morphology phenotype in which a cell becomes elongated, i.e. has a greater length and length:diameter ratio than normal, when the cell is subject to nitrogen starvation. elongated cell during nitrogen depletion long cell during nitrogen starvation gain of polarization during quiescence midori 2012-04-25T02:41:23Z
