N.D., not determined because the prespores in these mutants were too small for an accurate determination of shape.
a From initiation of phase I to the appearance of YFP-Psy1 dots at the edge of spindle microtubules.
b From completion of meiosis II to closure of the FSM.
c From closure until the prespore became spherical.
