viable elongated vegetative cell, with progressive elongation FYPO:0003095 progressively elongating viable vegetative cell A cell morphology phenotype in which a vegetative cell is viable and elongated, and continues to become longer over successive generations. The cell also undergoes mitosis beginning when the cell is longer than normal. midori Note that progressive cell elongation usually results from DNA damage checkpoint activation. Consider also annotating to 'normal DNA damage checkpoint' (FYPO:0001705) or 'increased DNA damage checkpoint activation' (FYPO:0001707). 2014-02-19T10:34:57Z viable elongated vegetative cell, elongated upon mitotic entry
