Evidence for a hierarchical mating system operating via pheromones in Dictyostelium giganteum.

K E Lewis and D H O'Day

ABSTRACT

Studies of four mating types of the cellular slime mold Dictyostelium giganteum revealed that each strain secrets its own sexual hormone to which each of the other three strains responds by forming macrocysts. Based on the ability to secrete or respond to hormone, the four strains can be arranged in a mating-type hierarchy.
