The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the dauer larva over time, through the facultative diapause of the dauer (enduring) larval stage, with specialized traits adapted for dispersal and long-term survival, with elevated stress resistance and without feeding.

A series of molecular signals in which a cell uses cyclic AMP to convert an extracellular signal into a response.

The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the vulva over time, from its formation to the mature structure. Vulval development begins during the larval stages to give rise to a fully formed vulva in the adult. As in, but not restricted to, the roundworms (Nematoda, ncbi_taxonomy_id:6231).

regulation of respiratory gaseous exchange

Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the process of gaseous exchange between an organism and its environment.

A series of molecular signals in which a cell uses cyclic GMP to convert an extracellular signal into a response.

positive regulation of vulval development (sensu Nematoda)

Any process that activates or increases the rate, frequency or extent of development of the vulva, as in, but not restricted to, the roundworms (Nematoda, ncbi_taxonomy_id:6231).

A series of molecular signals in which a cell uses a cyclic nucleotide to convert an extracellular signal into a response.

negative regulation of vulval development (sensu Nematoda)

Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the rate, frequency or extent of development of the vulva, as in, but not restricted to, the roundworms (Nematoda, ncbi_taxonomy_id:6231).

regulation of vulval development (sensu Nematoda)

Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of development of the vulva. As in, but not restricted to, the roundworms (Nematoda, ncbi_taxonomy_id:6231).

regulation of gene expression, epigenetic

Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of gene expression; the process is mitotically or meiotically heritable, or is stably self-propagated in the cytoplasm of a resting cell, and does not entail a change in DNA sequence.
