Abstract
At high population densities, mutant Fr-17 of D. discoideum forms only irregular flattened aggregates rather than the mature fruiting structures of the wild type. Yet many of the end products of the normal morphogenesis are present in the mutant. These include: spores, ensheathed clusters of stalk cells, a variety of polysaccharides, antigens known to be associated with the spores and stalks of the wild type, and pigment. In addition the temporal succession of these morphogenetic events is greatly accelerated.
