Morphological phenotypes, sporulation efficiencies and sorting preferences of all the abc mutant strains during development.

aAbbreviations: ASN = asynchronous; CUD = culmination defective; ECUL = Early culminants; EFB = early fruiting bodies; FBS = fruiting bodies; FNG = fingers; LAG = loose aggregate; LCUL = late culminants; LFB = late fruiting bodies; MFBS = Multiple fruiting bodies from a single base; MFNG = Multiple fingers; MND = mounds; MTAG = Multi tipped aggregate; MXH = Mexican hats; RIP = Ripples; SFBS = small fruiting body; SLG = Slugs; STR = streams; TAG = tipped aggregate; VEG = Vegetative; ND: not determined. The morphologies expected during wild type development are provided in Table 2.
