Figure 5. Cheating and kin recognition are diminished during development.

Figure 5

We developed cells in pure populations, dissociated them at different times as indicated (x-axis), mixed them at equal proportions and allowed them to develop again. The test victim was labeled with GFP. We harvested the spores and calculated the proportion (%) of GFP-positive spores (y-axis). The bars represent the means of 3-5 independent experiments. Black, tgrB1AX4tgrC1AX4–GFP mixed with the compatible cheater fbxA−; White, tgrB1AX4tgrC1AX4–GFP mixed with the compatible tgrB1AX4tgrC1AX4 strain as a control; Grey, tgrB1QS31tgrC1QS31–GFP mixed with the incompatible cheater fbxA−. The dashed line represents a fair share of spore representation (50%). The data are means +/– s.e.m., n=3-5 per group, *p<0.05, **p<0.001, NS p>0.1, two-tailed student’s t-test.
