The Relationship ◽  
Tip Formation

The relationship between aggregate size and morphological field size has been investigated in the cellular slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum. Evidence is presented that aggregate size and field size exhibit different temperature sensitivities and that an aggregate can be induced to separate into several morphological fields by a decrease in temperature. In addition, evidence is presented that field size is stabilized at a point in time just prior to tip formation.
