obsolete inviable vegetative cell population after spore germination, elongated curved germ tubes true inviable germinated spore population, elongated curved germ tubes FYPO:0002213 OBSOLETE. A cell population phenotype in which all vegetative cells arising from a population of germinated spores are inviable, and the germinated spores have elongated germ tubes that are curved along the long axis. The population may be mixed with respect to other phenotypes (e.g. whether cell division occurs). FYPO:0002061 This term was made obsolete because it is redundant with annotating to the equivalent cell phenotype plus a full-penetrance extension. midori 2013-06-05T14:48:45Z cell population inviable after spore germination, with elongated, curved germ tubes
