Cheating by exploitation of developmental prestalk patterning in Dictyostelium discoideum.

PLoS genetics - 26 Feb 2010

Khare Anupama, Shaulsky Gad

Abstract excerpt

The cooperative developmental system of the social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum is susceptible to exploitation by cheaters-strains that make more than their fair share of spores in chimerae. Laboratory screens in Dictyostelium have shown that the genetic potential for facultative cheating is high, and field surveys have shown that cheaters are abundant in nature, but the cheating mechanisms are largely...
