Anatomy and scale of C. elegans developmental stages Life cycle and developmental stages of C. elegans. Under environmental conditions favourable for reproduction, hatched larvae develop through four larval stages - L1, L2, L3, and L4 - in just 3 days at 20 °C.
Nov 20, 2014 · LIFE CYCLE. Similar to other nematodes, the life cycle of C. elegans is comprised of the embryonic stage, four larval stages (L1-L4) and adulthood (IntroFIG6). The end of each larval stage is marked with a molt where a new, stage-specific cuticle is synthesized and the old one is shed (Cassada and Russell, 1975).

C. elegans has a rapid life cycle (3 days at 25° from egg to egg-laying adult) and exists primarily as a self-fertilizing hermaphrodite, although males arise at a frequency of <0.2% . These features have helped to make C. elegans a powerful model of choice for eukaryotic genetic studies.

The C. elegans Lifecycle. In common with other nematodes, C. elegans develops through four larval stages (also called juveniles in some nematode literature) which are separated by moults. The lifecycle takes about 3 days at 20 deg.C, as illustrated below.
